Unbelieveable Beauty
Quality:
Very well made and seems to be a very sound instrument.
Sound:
The tone is excellent, of course you need to have a amp to reach all the different levels of the guitar. I feel as though this is the best guitar for the money. Several guitars rolled into one with many different sounds.
Reliability:
I've only had it a month now and I have no complaints. I'm so please to be an owner of the Ibanez Montage 650.
Overall:
The picture online doesn't compare to the beauty of this instrument. After I checked it out from side to side top and bottom my score is Completely flawless.
Playability and Feel:
It hugs my body. Its light enough to carry with a strap for hours. The controls on top of the guitar are easily reachable. What was good for me were the diagram that showed what the controls are for. I'll use it a little longer before I remove it from my guitar.
Tone:
The Montage truly has a kaleidescope of sounds the pickups are hot. The tones from the acoustic and electric are rich and powerful.
Finish:
The vintage violin high gloss on my guitar is flawless. I almost choose one of the other Montage's and I'm so glad I didn't.
Action:
The action is instant and crisp. This is great!

Nice Hybrid For the Price
Quality:
Out of the box, the guitar looks great and the action was very good.
Reliability:
I've had the guitar for a couple of months and have had no issues.
Overall:
I play a T5 for most of my gigs, so I was looking for something similar to have as a backup. This guitar fits the bill nicely. It's not a T5, but at a third of the price, I wasn't expecting it to be.
Playability and Feel:
I replaced the stock strings with Elixer Electric 11's and adjusted the neck slightly to get a bit better action. I really love the feel of the guitar. Most people would probably not need to do this, but I wanted it to feel as close to my T5 as I could get it.
Tone:
What's nice is the 5 way toggle on the front of the guitar which allows you to change the tone and pickups on the fly. Nice for when you want to drive a song a bit harder with a little distortion.
Finish:
Nice look on the body. The neck looks a bit cheap to me.
