The Ibanez Montage MSC500MBK acoustic eletric guitar is a complete sonic arsenal: sparkling acoustic tones, electric sounds from clean and punchy to snarling and brash, plus effects and tuner. That’s right, all in one guitar.
The Ibanez Montage offers five different sound options, from pure acoustic (UST pickup) to overdriven electric (magnetic pickup). The MSC500MBK has a DSP-based preamp, onboard EQ and effects, including tuner, reverb, chorus, two notch filters and phase reversal for feedback elimination.
The Ivorex II nuts on this Ibanez acoustic electric are stronger and more durable than bone and even harder than the original Ivorex. Ivorex II allows brilliant highs and more pronounced lows with less mid-range which makes Ivorex II-fitted guitars perfect for amplification.
