Ibanez Montage Guitar Demo

[WorshipMan93]

Which Ibanez Montage is this? Is it the MCS350QM? MSC650VV? MSC700NT?

[crazyman4829]

i wish i had one of those

[JackTheMusicianofPin]

if it had a tremolo it would have been the mother of all guitars

[captainpunkrock69]

how do you adjust the action with this "FAST ACTION SETUP TECHNOLOGY" I've heard so much about?

[captainpunkrock69]

how would i use this with a pedal? like if its a distortion pedal would i set the guitar to acoustic mode?

[wowhex]

LIL wayne plays guitar?

[TheStarbull]

This guitar is definately kick-ass!

[stringslayer97]

i first wanted to watch this video because i thought a monkey were playing that guitar

[jto1916]

@stringslayer97 I wonder who is the monkey here?

[odemasuff]

have the chinese copied that yet with a cheaper price tag ?

[RubenArenas21]

Jay -Z plays guitar?! :o

[whomad1215]

that thing must eat through batteries like crazy though

[StephenFiorentini]

I've got an AS73 x')

[fuckingfuckdude]

These are fantastic utility guitars, but I wish they'd make one in this design without all of the extra shit on it.

[MelboyPhotography]

i want the black version. this 4:43

looks waaay better

[Harrysound]

Really not likeing the electro acoustic thing

[milkmandan63]

got mine yesterday. really surprised me. i'm not really an ibanez guy ( i have an iceman). i own a taylor114. but i picked this thing up, played it and it really sounded great even unplugged! i was shocked! also own a Martin000CXE and this sounded more full unplugged .reason i bought it was for all the "onboard" stuff....if i need a bit of distortion or reverb or chorus....it's there....just enough! i'm excited to gig with this! my taylor and this will be traveling with the band!

[Mbuitenwerf]

best reviewer on youtube!

[novanine9]

DOES IT COME WITH A NYLON VERSION?

[LawLuiz]

quiero tener una guitarra igual a esa! me enamoré de esa guitarra IBANEZ

[MrLabernicht]

What the proposed model can do more than the MSC 350-BK?

[IplayMusic2]

Youtube Rocks for demos. I've done some, people enjoy it most of the time.

[ChrisUnplugged]

Bought the MSC650VV on eBay, sight unseen, based on viewing the YouTube demo and reviews.....Very happy with my purchase. It's the only guitar that I have purchased without ever actually seeing one ! No complaints, great gigging guitar, lightweight, neck is thinner than acoustic guitars, action is low and light, great tone plugged in. Unplugged, of course, it sounds good, but not like my Taylor 710. Not as 'tinny' as an Ovation when unplugged. Buy this AND buy a Taylor acoustic !!!

[pickledasa]

This guitar is awesome...I like it, but im just a beginner.

[LostMusicalMeanings]

Is it a semi-acoustic? o.o

[mikebri527]

@LostMusicalMeanings No it's a true hollow body guitar that has both a piezo pickup for acoustic guitar sounds and a magnetic pickup for traditional electric guitar sounds.

[LostMusicalMeanings]

OMFG IM IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER GUITAR!

AND THE OTHER ONE IS ALSO AN IBANEZ!

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@LostMusicalMeanings

Forget I posted this O-o

Youtube won't let me delete it

[The81Ghost]

Hi everyone!

What amp are we to use with this hybrid guitar?

Do we need to use and acoustic amp?

or an electric amp will just do fine????

[mikebri527]

@The81Ghost You should probably use two amps. A traditional guitar amp for the electric side and an acoustic guitar amp or a PA system for the acoustic side. The guitar is set up with two output jacks to allow you to do this. FYI, Roland Cube amps have an acoustic guitar simulator built in to them so you could run one cable from the mixed output jack right to the Cube amp and switch between acoustic guitar simulator and typical amp sounds with the amp's footswitches. Good Luck.

[The81Ghost]

@mikebri527 thanks!

I bought 2 electric guitars instead of this guitar. I'm thinking to buy this guitar too though but not yet.

[mikebri527]

@The81Ghost Someone else posted something about Ibanez discontinuing this guitar as of the end of 2010. I don't know if it's true or not but it's probably worth looking into. There seems to be some on the used market (that's where I got mine) and I would assume there are still a few new ones hanging around music stores if you decide to buy. I think it's a great guitar for what it does and what it costs. Good Luck. I hope you find one when and if you're ready.

[The81Ghost]

@mikebri527 I see, what I like with acoustic guitars is when you hit a chord you get better intonation with even cheap acoustics. I bought this $1250 les paul studio and it's intonation is not as accurate as my yamaha acoustic guitar even u adjust it... anyways I will get an electric acoustic guitar one day when I have some money. If they discontinue this guitar it's ok. but thanks very much man! :)

[wozg360]

Can i use my engl thunder 50 reverb with this or do u need an accoustic amp any help guys thanx!

[ultra888]

NICE DEMO !

[jizzman6969]

Sly Stone's Son?

[MADEINMAIDEN]

cool. weight? seems like it has a built in effects-pedal.

[Fraugee]

I like the sound of the guitar but i don't like how it looks

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@Fraugee

Same :\

[BadAssMotha5000]

or you could buy a real acoustic guitar...

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@BadAssMotha5000

Saves you money L[]LX

Switching in the middle of a song?

[YaksBall8]

does anyone know the name of the first song?

[13berza]

Important Point and bad for me...

you need guitar amp extra or an amp simulator for the el. sounds.

The distortion sounds otherwise like sh.t

They could've put some EQ regulating for that (speaker-amp simulator) would've been perfect

[petty234]

i want this so much its beauitulf!!!!

[feiti635ceira]

oh, why, dear Ibanez, why?

it is just my personal opinion, but if you"re looking for an acoustic guitar, why should you buy this, when you can already get a nice solid top, real acoustic sounding guitar at this price range. something that sounds better than a wooden plate with strings.

i guess as the old saying goes... it works for everything = it works for nothing

[alexus2394]

I like the disorted electric sounds, good sound but not my favorite.

The blending is very nice.

[UltimateGuitarist17]

my only problem with this guitar would be the acoustic tone. It needs to bigger and lacks real fullness

[LesPaulable]

got this guitar for my bday

[funney61303349]

@LesPaulable how many frets dose it have

[bernhardtsen74]

84, plus minus a lot!

[fenderacolyte]

i don't know about the sound, but the looks, damn, i love the design of that guitar.

[darkender000]

that sound more like an electric acoustic rather than an acoustic with a pickup

[sichadeb]

@darkender000 isnt that what and acoustic electric is?

[jimbow56]

Love mine- I'm no pro guitarist but it is very easy to play and it sounds great.

[leguitarist35]

Yeah, lets actually learn how to spell BEFORE we diss something. I think its a brilliant idea

[TheMahagoni]

this is not a real guitar - its a toy

trast me that without all the efacts it sounds bad....

in this price you can bye a guitar that made out of solid wood like the epiphone masterbilt

[ibanezdudeck]

Epiphone is lame. Ibanez kills them. This is the leading hybrid guitar in my mind.

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@TheMahagoni \

LOL I'VE NEVER SEEN A COMMENT THAT SAID

"This comment has recieved too many negative votes" and had been spammed for that

[frarod90]

im in love......I freakin need this guitar....700 DLLS.....here I come....

[wakaka117]

my birthdy's coming up next week and i've been dropping hints like crazy to get this guitar...

[stevevox1]

wow what a guitar

[letterbekmen]

I was always the fan of Fender and gibson, but i feel like that they are doing nothing new these days. I think that the pickup in this guitar is weak for distortion, but nobody wants to play heavy metal in this guitar

[Carlsbiz]

Have you seen the Gibson "Dark Fire" ?

[MattMadoniMusic]

Its not much more than an upgrade to the robot, which they have had for a few years.

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

the robot and dark fire are both waste of money. learn how to tune a guitar, and buy an electric/acoustic hybrid. its that simple. gibs0on robo, and DF are very stupd, IMO.

[Carlsbiz]

I have been tuning guitars for 31 years - mostly by ear.. What makes you think that I "need to learn" ? The DF is 1 of 7 guitars I own.. And is a very nice axe..

Have you ever played one ? It's not my fav but it's a far cry from a piece of crap..

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

i never ment it directly to you dude. i was sayig in general, people should learn how to tune by tuner or ear before using automatic tuner. sorry you misunderstood my comment.

iksa.

[Carlsbiz]

Ok - thnx..

You should try playing one (if you play)

it's a cool experience..

Rock on \m/

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

i sure will :)

[guitarlynne]

I want. I want. I want! What kicking guitar!

I'm in love!

Lynne

[909kong]

"Phase Reverse" & "Onboard Tuner", huh? I'm getting an onboard headache trying to keep up with the features on this thing!!!

[wizard100115]

ive nevr been a big fan of acoustics but this is theacoustic built for me and i want it !

[jef11997711]

I bought one of these about 8 weeks ago and can't say enough good about it!!!

[randyreal6]

this guitarman is superb! i watched other demos here at you tube for this guitar, and i thought the guitar sucked, but in the hands of a GOOD player,i'm convinced this guitar would work for me! Larry is the MAN!

[randyreal6]

this is my next guitar! thanku finally for a guitar like this!!

[wadey69]

wats that overdrive tune ur playing

[jtsynner]

well what i really want to know is the acoustic sound/loudness is when it is unplugged.

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

its pretty loud, but the montage is a guitar that should be plugged in, not unplugged, it would be a waste of money just to buy the guitar with out an acoustix amp. there are soo many effects that you can get with this guitar. buy it with AN AMP! Kustom Sienna i would suggest as a good acoustic amp.

[jtsynner]

well i have a question. like i never really plug my acoustic guitar in, but if i did i have a line 6 spider III. i also never really heard or even used an acoustic amp, would my line six be ok or do you really suggest an acoustic amp?

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

it would be okay, but this is the differance between an electric gtr amp, and an acoustic gtr amp:

electric: gives you more of an electric guitar sound.

acoustic:gives you more of the guitar(s) pure,natural soun, more acousticey.

i highly suggest buying an acoustic amp for this guitar, it would kinda be alet down if you just bought the guitar, with out a good amp.

could i suggest a Kustom Sienna 35 watt amp.

its a great amp for te price. i use it ,and the guitar really rocks then!

[jtsynner]

alrighty i will look into that. about how much does that paticular amp run?

(i recently got out of my younger days metal phase)

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

price rang, is that what you mean? its a 35 watt amp, with a 10 inch speaker, ita ohh, about 200-230 dollars, a xtreamly good pice for a great brand. i got mine for 209 dollars at my music store, because it was in the testing room (where you test out the guitars they have at the store) for about 3 weeks, so they took off about 30 or 50 bucks for me, plus they know my famliy pretty damn well.

get the amp, and the guitar, you wont be dissapointed. :)

[LOVELIFE54]

IanKusekSoloArtist I totally agree !! The kustom sienna 35 amp is a great choice , I picked one up around two mths ago and I just played the Ibanez Montage at Guitar Ctr and that will be my next guitar ! I am so impressed with it !

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

ur welcome!!!

[arielcardona]

You can do one better than an acoustic amp: go straight to the PA system. Sounds more "genuine" than an acoustic amp.

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

yhea, that would be another option.

[mitzdaking]

so you cant plug it in a general amp? :(

aww

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

yes you can, but an acoustic amp will give you more of an acoustic sound, thats all. buy the guitar, and a kustom sienna amp, thats a great combo. also check out the Ibanez SAGE, its just a normal dradnought acoustic steel string, but its really great too!

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

I have the Monatge, and it rocks. The next acoustic guitar i may(or would) get would be the Ibanez Exotic Wood. But the guitar rocks, def. get it. I have the Flamed Maple Red. Buy one now :)

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

well, the Koa body, they dont make anymore, cause its RARE, the flammed maple (red) goes for $600, and all the other spruce black, quilted maple orange burst, and cedar[SP] are over or UNDER 700, well worth it. I have the Red Flammed maple, and it rocks, alothough, i just bought a kustom sienna 35 amp, the amp is kinda hard to get used to, also the sound, im still experimenting, it ROCKS THO!

GET IT! GET THE RED! the pict online looks okay, but in real life, its looks 110% better!

[ZomgOwnted]

The distortion channel sounds pretty bad, but Im willing to overlook that.

[Mayberry4u]

its about 800 in the us. but i ont like the sound of it

[4aya4]

around $740 in canada..

[NevadaMusicUK]

Currently £429 pounds in UK, two finishes to choose from

[emo4elmo]

the sound hole is shaped like an "!" or an "i" for "Ibanez". thats sooo cool! how creative.

[iamblackmo]

Awesome

[yoborne]

Bro...i wannna have one!!!Excellent...
