Shredcow, what additional mods did u do to ur s520? I see cool switches

Uh.

2 3-way mini toggles to handle series/parallel/split for each humbucker.

3 way pup selector, center wired out of phase.

1 x kill switch

Dimarzio 250k vol pot and Dimarzio 1 meg tone pot with Mallory capacitor.

haha i dunno man. have never laid my hands on the jacksons. perhaps you can ask other softies ard.

 

[Ized]

Well, i guess you cant really compare....both guitars are good to their own aspects.......

ibanez s series are mahagony tho....jacksons are made of alder....advice would be try both out before making a decision.........
