Fret Level + Setup - Ibanez S520X

The Ibanez Wizard đŸ§™â€â™‚ïž has been summoned!


This S520 had a trip to the Workshed due to dreaded fret-buzz, there was zero neck relief and the 'zero resistance' trem wasn't level. I found that the buzz was specifically around the bottom strings. After checking over with my fret rocker, a number of prominent high and low frets were found. I've Levelled, crowned and polished for an impeccable smooth playability. Low-Mid Setup, 0.11" Neck Relief at the 8th fret. For a more budget-friendly Ibanez I'm impressed with the great neck on this model, very comfortable to play!
