the latest list price for the SZ320 is stated in the review...
why the SZ is one of the best sub-$1K guitar in the market today:
*simplicity/ ease of use
*great sustain
*superb playability
*impressive default tone/ pickups- thanks to the Duncan-Ibanez collaboration, the SZ is one of the better pickup-equipped Ibanez out there. the other highlight, tone-wise, is how the pickups are wired. when both humbuckers are activated simultaneously, Ibanez had opted to offer this combination in a spilt mode, which makes the SZ a contender in the twang category albeit not sounding too authentic 8)
will not appeal to:
*RG fans who prefer a thin neck profile

You know... the very very interesting thing about the Pup Selector is that, its not your typical gibson style 3 way toggle. Its actually a 4PDT 3-way switch.
For those of you who know your electronics, a 4DPT switch can do a hell of a lot of things!
For example, you can have it swap btw Series, Parallel and Coil Spilt for BOTH your humbuckers are once! Not possible with the old 3 way DPDT mini toggle.
The minis only do 1 humbucker.
So yeah.... you can easily replace the current 3 way with a Gibson style LP toggle, throw away 1 vol pot, and put your 4PDT switch in place. So now you would have... 1 vol, 1 tone, 1 3-way 4PDT switch, 1 LP 3-way toggle.
This would give you the following configs...
1. Neck hum
2. Both hums in series
3. Bridge Hum
1. Neck hum parallel
2. Both hums parallel, in series
3. Bridge hum parallel
1. Neck hum split
2. Both hums split, in series
3. Bridge hum split.
Heh. Rocking eh?
