Was out guitar shoppin' recently and played a few new ones:

First, an SZ520. I know its not on your list, but the 320 and 720 both are. They did not have a 720, which is what I was looking for, but figured the 520 should be about the same. Its a good looking guitar, but the action was set way too high. (Why don't guitar stores set their guitars up correctly?) I played it through an old Fender Ultimate Chorus, because that is what I have. I wasn't blown away. Maybe the amp? who knows. Are the 720s real different than the 520s?

I also had the pleasure of playing an AEF37. Again, real nice looking guitar, great action, surprisingly nice sound. I have a Taylor 614ce, so I may not be the right guy to evaluate the Ibanez. But for the price, it was one hell of a guitar. I'm actually thinking of adding one to the collection. Any other opinions on the AEFs would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, I played a Talman inner city (don't know the exact model, hollow body AE). That's the best looking ugly guitar on the market today :)(IMO). Real light, great balance and sounds pretty good too!
