I played this guitar in August last year in store, and it was lingering in my mind for months.. December came around, and I called the same store I played it at and it was still there.. the rest is history! The best guitar I have owned!! I have features a 4 because of the stock bridge and tuners. But those are small, easy replacements! One Gohto bridge and one set of Sperzel Lock Tuners, and she is a performer!!

I have 8 Ibanez including my first in 1979, an Ibanez Studio 105. saw this in the Jack's online sale and held off at first. Weird guitar I thought. Kept going back to looks at it but store images were useless as always so had to just throw the dice. Picked it up today and plugged it in. Wow. The PUPs are DiMarzio Air Norton & Tone Zone and do not dissapoint. This is a very versatile guitar, well built, great tuning stability and aesthetics. Unusual as hell. The veneer top is quite thick, 5 way switch is solid, jumbo frets are finished to Ibanez premium levels. Would I use this on stage....YES. L&M Please take pro high resolution shots for online sales, not hand held pocket phone shots. A picture that falls apart after one click is of no use to a perusing customer. You should be able to see discernable and useful visual detail at 100% magnification, not blocks of fuzzy pixels. This particular guitar had swapped tone knobs and this could barely be seen in the online product image.

I spent over five hours trying out guitars with various amps and settings. I think I tried around 20 guitars in the 800-1100 dollar range, but I kept coming back to this one. The versatility of the 5-way switch, the feel of the neck, and the overall aesthetics combine for one incredible guitar. I play a little bit of everything, and this guitar performs well in every genre. If you're looking for a versatile, high-quality guitar at a price that won't break the bank, this is the one! The only thing I would say is to try an Ibanez neck out if you haven't before. I personally love the agility of the Wizard III neck, but the extended string spacing and overall "flatness" may not be for everyone.

I bought this guitar a few days ago and I've hardly put it down since. Paired with a nice amp it sounds amazing. I'm loving the wooden knobs and the fret board feels so nice. For $1000 it would be hard to beat this 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: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 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.
