Hey man... cool guitar! Think it's good for 80s clean pop and also soft/glam metal? or are the humbuckers too "hot" for the cleaner 80s pop sounds... thanks!
Thanks 😊 I find the humbuckers very versatile, the sustaine is not bad either, but to be honest I would change the humbuckers if this was my go to guitar, Seymour Duncan SH-JB Hot Rodded Humbuckers would to the trick, costs almost as much as the guitar 😅 But the lightness and playability on this guitar is a joy to play with. 👍
@@kim-andresandnes5749 yes I keep looking at it, you know when you know you have to have it!! I'd switch out the pickups too, most folks say the quatums aren't very good. You think SDs would be best to give me that 80s sound? Thanks!
@@malthus101 I won’t say that it’s bad, I have the Ibanez JS1200 as well, was planning to use this under the covering of this melody, but as I was recording, one of the strings snapped, and I hadn’t the motivation to change strings 🤣 So I picked up the 520 and I think it work out very well by my ear. I enjoy playing the 520 because of the good radios on the neck, and jumbo frets. The guitar thinness is amazing and for the money I would have thought it’s in the price range abow 10 k. One of those guitars that I will always keep, and as I’m using the “simple and cheap” Boss GT multiboard it is easy to create good sounds like 80’s rock/glam etc. It’s not very noise the pick up’s, and the fret job on my guitar was excellent, didn’t need any set up, played it right out of the box 👍 The tremolo is very accurate, and after playing a few hours after string change it keeps very much in tune even with heavy dive bombs 😁
