This is a weird coincidence. Almost every time I watch one of your guitar reviews, shortly thereafter, my bank account decreases. I'll have to try and figure out the connection.

I think it is a great time for guitarists to find affordable but great sounding legitimate instruments. It’s getting harder to finding bad ones. Thanks Darrell!

@rayschoch5882 5 лет назад

Nicely done, as usual, Darrell. I haven't had an Ibanez in several years, and all my "pure" electric instruments are either all-single-coil or all-humbucker, so the combination in something other than a Strat is appealing. I agree - the blueburst finish is gorgeous. I'll check the SA out further. Thanks for the nudge!

@joelawson33 4 года назад

This was my first "real" guitar ever. Got it as a present right before the 8th grade talent show back in '96. Mine was HSS, but had a floyd rose. I have a S 521 now and it has a hardtail instead of floyd. These are the greatest guitars ever in my opinion. I've tried several other different guitars over the years I'm still most impressed by this one. I love the location and angle of the input jack probably the most. I hate an input jack flat on the front or on the edge of the body. After trying out other guitars that was something I quickly noticed was a huge turnoff but something I never really appreciated til I didn't have it anymore.

@jestre700 5 лет назад

@rentblop8070 5 лет назад

I have an Ibanez SA-120 in black. I actually like it more than the Prestige ones because the body isn't as thin. My model was made in 2005, so it was still made in Korea. They switched manufacturing to Indonesia a few years later. I changed the bridge pickup to a Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB. It's still my favorite guitar to this day. Love it! Great Video!

@MDG3 5 лет назад

My very first guitar is a dumpster salvaged 1985 IBANEZ ROADSTAR II Series RS240, and I'm glad I rescued it. It still sounds great after all those years. I have 98 Fender Stratocaster MIM that has a little fret wear and I love it but I always go back to my Ibanez, maybe for sentimental reasons.

Thanks for the review, Darrell. I've been eyeballing this on your rack for awhile now. I'm strongly considering this platform (SA series) to modify as a replacement for my very heavy MIM Strat. Ibanez always has acceptable build quality with well-constructed and comfortable neck profiles.

Always liked Ibanez, they are great!

@CassiniProjekt 4 года назад

This guitar was my workhorse from 2004-2015, it is very versatile, never had tuning stability issues with it (excepting tremolo action). On that note it had a very good tremolo system although without the FR it would then go out of tune naturally after a few dive bombs. When I bought it I fell in love with it for a long time. The only two things I'd criticise are that the single coils hum/buzz, maybe noiseless would have been better but more importantly in a live setting it doesn't have the volume that a thicker sounding guitar would have.

@hagbardceline3918 4 года назад

@@DarrellBraunGuitar If you're doing more with this one, be sure to mention that the earlier SA's are Korean made (Cort or WMI) and the build quality is noticeably better. Look for a black plastic mounting on the bridge pickup as a quick guide; Ibanez changed to a silver housing as on your example in late 2004 just before moving production to China in 2005.

@tomholton235 5 лет назад

There’s something soft and fuzzy about these pickups I just don’t like, similar to the original pups on my S470DX (first proper guitar) easily fixed by putting in a couple of Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Interestingly I messed up and put in the middle single coil out of phase but after hearing it I loved the versatility and tone of the in between sounds and I’d recommend anyone give it a go as it gives you something really different to work with so I have never ‘fixed’ it. Love that guitar but after owning it for 15 years or more it really needs some work on the frets. Slightly jealous of the HSS and non-locking term is this style of instrument fits so much better with how I play these days. Great video as usual!
