Indoor, re-string


Had been an uneventful Sunday. Was mostly indoors save for a quick trip to the provision store for a pack of milk. Had a strong urge to play my SZR today. Gave it a re-string before playing; D'Addario 9.5s. This SZR520 is one of the few Ibanez I own that is totally unmodified. There was a strong urge to replace those default NDR pickups but after dialling up the right amount of distortion / EQ & some adventures with pickup height, I have to say those became likeable.

If the PRS Silver Sky (R) had a more refined finish in terms of the headstock outline, it might end up looking like the SZR (L) after all. Uncanny resemblance as it is.

Hi fellow SZR owner!

Love my SZR520 Dark Honey Sunburst (from SV Guitars in 2012), but have an uncured GAS affliction for the natural finish NT version.

Thanks for continuing to write about these gems, so sad they're over!

Peace,
