The Ibanez S521 sits in the cutting edge Ibanez S-Series. These guitars have lightweight frames and responsive bodies. The Ibanez S521 is a stripped back classic in the making.
Its perfect balance between form and function means this Ibanez is musically responsive with dynamics. All on account of its signature body shape - sculpted, lightweight, mahogany. Although a featherweight design this body design means the S521 is just as strong and as guitars weighing twice as much.

The guitar came mostly setup although the E string was a bit too close to the fret board causing fret buzz. Also there is a slight blemish in the paint. Not major issues. Other than that I am very happy with the guitar, especially for the price.
