First electric guitar I've ever bought, and It does not disappoint. Feels good, plays good, sounds good. Not as good as a Gibson or a Fender in my opinion, but for the price, it's pretty great. I'm personally not a huge fan of Epiphone pickups, but they sound infinitely better than some of the other off-brand guitars at this price. A big difference for me was the Satin finish which I really enjoy playing on. Feels a lot smoother and softer when playing. The only problem I've ever had with this guitar so far is the bottom straphead's screwhole getting stripped, but that was easily fixed by sticking a toothpick in the hole and screwing it back in. (This is also common with a lot of other guitars).

I bought this used through L&M's inventory blowout in order to have a guitar specifically set up in D. I was blown away by the sound and tone of this guitar, it sounds really great. I can't put in down. If you need another guitar (and who doesn't) pick this one up.

Great guitar. Excellent sound and pick ups. Perfect for rocking or any other genre. This is one of four guitars I own which includes a Fender strat, Ibanez mini bass, and a Simon & Patrick electric acoustic. This is the one I practice and jam with the most. Buy it! You'll like it.

All around perfect for what I am using it for...I would play it on stage, not that I get on stage ever!! But it's really a great value. Plays better than I expected at the price point. I paired it with a 15w Marshall amp. Sounds perfect!

Nice guitar. I got the package with the amp but I rarely use the amp since it's very finicky. Anyway, I got the guitar with a chip on the paint behing the fretboard but I decided to keep it anyway because I thought it looked more "mature" that way. The guitar holds it's tune quite well (in my experience, anyway) and sounds pretty good. Has a deep, growling sound to it which is perfect for classic rock and roll. Only thing is, you may want to get it set up before you leave the shop. I had to fix my intonation after I got it but the manual tells you how to do it so if you forgot, you could still tune it yourself. Overall, great guitar, had it for 2 or so years (spent a lot of it's time in storage; just picked it up again recently) and hasn't let me down.

Could not go wrong buying this guitar,for the cost you are getting a very comfortable nice size guitar.Mine is the sunburst finish which looks wicked under stage lights,the only issue I find is the tuners are a little weak,does not take much to go out of tune,I have changed the tuners and have not had the guitar going out of tune.Bottom line..........beginner -- seasoned pro you can't go wrong buying this,great for noodling or shredding value galore.....great job Epiphone.

This guitar is great if it is gonna be your first because its pretty cheap. It feels okay and sounds okay. My brother had one for a few years only cause his other guitar got stolen. This guitar fell apart pretty fast. This guitar doesnt take a beating to well.

This was my first real electric guitar and for the price, it's totally worth it. It sounds great, buzzes very, very rarely. I'm in my room playing this guitar for hours every night. Another great job Epiphone!

the guitar is a great beginner guitar, the neck pickup slipped and fell down the hole where it sits but that was an easy fix. The amp is an OK amp I used it for a school talent show but the comments were really muffled so I'll probably get a different amp when i get the money.

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.
