"I've had this guitar for over a year now, got it back in October/November of 2004. It's a great value, as far as technical difficulties I've not had any problems with it so far. The tone was pretty good stock, I put in a Seymour Duncan Jazz and a Distortion in the neck (later changed to a Dimarzio Super Distortion, the SD seemed a bit harsh). As for finish, well, it'll get scratched like most guitars I imagine, but it's tough, it's taken some big falls from being with me. One review I read before buying this guitar stated that it took a 4 or 5 foot fall from a wall mounted holder and the guitar was fine. I'd honestly believe it, it's a tough guitar. If you're intermediate (or even a new player) who's looking for a guitar that's gonna get you through, or even one that'll take care of gigs and stuff like college, well I'd certainly recommend this one, for the price it can't be beat, the tone is great. I can't say much on how it compares to that of a Gibson, PRS, or anything similiar, as I've never heard either played in real life, but I've been told the SZ520 comes close. I only have a Vox Valvetronix amp (another good one for it's price), but I can only imagine the tone I'll get when I get some serious time with this and a tube amp. "
