MSC650 Montage Acoustic/Electric
 This product is no longer available.
Since you are a busy working musician, you may be required to play with an electric and acoustic guitar sound in one song. In that case, what do you do?

Play the acoustic part with an electric guitar? Or have another guitarist play the acoustic part? In any case, you're not really satisfied, are you?

The Montage is a complete sonic arsenal for those busy working musicians. You can get both sounds, from purely clear acoustic to heavily distorted electric, in one guitar.
Your dilemma is now no longer an issue. Just grab one Montage series guitar, and you're set for the gig.

Tis review is based on my use of this product for about six months..(Ibanez montage msc 550 trd) I got mine used about six months ago and I can't complain. it's a very sexy guitar much more so in person than in pictures. It's a very versatile guitar. play songs that are meant to be played with the clean sound of an electric guitar then switch to electric distortion or a mix of electric clean and acoustic clean or mix acoustic clean and electric distortion or just play the acoustic setting . Power ballades are a breeze, and the 2 output jacks make everything even more customizable. one output can be used for both electric and acoustic pickups in the same amp or you can plug in 2 amps at a time,, one going to an acoustic amp for the acoustic pickup and the second one to an electric guitar amp for great sounds. this is done with the five way switch, position 1 clean electric, position 2 clean electric and clean acoustic, position 3 clean acoustic only, position 4 clean acoustic and electric distortion and position 5 is electric distortion only. There is an on-board reverb and chorus, a notch a and b adjustment knob for feedback, a tuner, a phase reverse, three way E.Q., bass, mid and treble. then you have individual volumes, one for the clean electric "magnetic pickup" one for the clean acoustic "transducer pickup" one for the distortion channel and finally one master volume. It's a bit heavy though for an acoustic guitar but that shouldn't be a problem If you're used to playing an electric guitar. The neck is fast like an electric, bar chords are a breeze tuners keep tune just fine and Oh yeah I forgot to mention there is a feature called F.A.S.T. for adjusting the neck action witch only needs a couple of allen keys to set everything up to your liking (the action height you like). I don't think I will get rid of it anytime soon. I will probably end up keeping it for my son in the future. All in all a very classy looking hybrid acoustic guitar.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
