Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

It feels that Ibanez could have done better with SZR720, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give SZR720 a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

Ibanez didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the SZR720 what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Ibanez's SZR720 will deliver what you need in most situations.

A bit more care and time would make this instrument a class better, but Ibanez's SZR720 doesn't look bad, nor does play badly. It stays in tune reasonably well, and can provide a not-too-demanding musician some good experience. Was it the price, or some other factor, but it feels that the hardware could have been done better; nevertheless, SZR720 is after all a good guitar which is not too hard to handle and set up.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, SZR720 will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Ibanez's SZR720.
