Guitar Information

The S1520FB is part of the high end Prestige line and one of the first S series Prestige models. It is sometimes listed as simply the S1520, but that model name refers more accurately to a related model without the exotic top.
The S1520FB features a figured bubinga top on a mahogany body bolted to a maple and bubinga Wizard Prestige neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and single inlay at the 12th fret. Components include a pair of Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolobridge with a locking nut; and Gotoh tuning machines.

My Thoughts

Bought this guitar many years ago from a close friend who has a habit of buying guitars spending lots of money upgrading them and then selling them normally at a loss lol.
Same here he changed the pick ups for 2 dimebuckers( which sound great) he also had dots added on the neck and the swirl at the 12th fret covered with a large oval, not fussy on the 12th fret marker would have looked better left alone, but that doesn't take away from what is a greta guitar, very light small neck and how they get that tone out of such a small body is amazing.
