Answer 1

tehy are kinda the same. id liek the second for its fret markers and such. but at that range id have to see hwo they sound in comparison. if unsure get the SAS32EX. an orange amp would work amazingly well with your guitar. orange makes my favorite guitar amps ever

Answer 2

it depends on your preference and playing style i guess.

for example, the s520 comes with claw mark inlay at 12th fret. if you're into solo-ing, do you need the inlays at the standard positions so you don't get lost? if so, i'd go with the sas32. that would probably be a factor for me, but nobody's the same.

personally, i prefer the s520. i haven't looked into the SA series much, but i absolutely love the S series. the body on an S is so thin and it makes it very light, the wizard neck is extremely fast and thin, and the ZR bridge basically guarantees your tuning will be fine no matter what you do. the pickups are decent, they're nothing amazing, but they are better than a lot of other stock pickups.

the SA looks really cool though; i like the bordering, it makes it look a little less bland. I haven't heard much about the pickups, bridge or neck, but it's made by ibanez, and they generally are great no matter the choice.

i have played an SA series guitar; though i don't know what model it was or it's specs, but between S520 (which i have played) and SA guitars, the 520 won by a long shot. Wizard necks and ZR bridge owned.
