After a lengthy search I recently purchased the 814CE at Long and Mcquade in St. John's. The guitar is far superior to my 2009 LTD edition Takamine, in both playability and sound. The Taylor has a richness and projection when played unplugged or through amplification; the Expression System sounds pure and natural and its controls are simple and elegant. This guitar is worth the money.

Got mine at the Burlington store in December. Never thought I would pay this much for a guitar, but it is worth every penny. I have the sunburst model. It is by far the best guitar I have ever owned.

I have owned a Martin D-35 and HD-35. I consider myself a Martin guy, but the local store had none in stock. So after playing several i choose this one. It is as good as any of the Martins I've played. Great Guitar!

Purchased this guitar from the St. John's Long & Mcquade a few months ago. It is absolutely stunning. Amazing sound, feel and looks. Sustain is unreal, notes are nice and clear regardless of how soft or hard it is played.

I want this guitar to charm me, but after 9 months, things are going in the other direction. Instead of coming alive with playing it seems to be getting deader. Fretted notes decay too fast; no overtones & lack of resonance. It's humidified and gets new strings. Old Samick at 1/6th the cost plays & sounds better.

The 814ce will give Martin, and Gibson, a good run for the money. The Tones are excellent for great Low End, Mid's and high end as well. I would highly recommend this Model 814ce to anyone looking for quality at a low price.

I was shopping for a great acoustic for at least 10 years. Bought many in that time, looking for that perfect guitar. Played this one, fell in love with it. Knew right away this was the one for me. Solid instrument, neck is smooth and easy to play, just feels perfect. I gave it a 9 in value only because of the price, it's a little high, but, if you buy this guitar, you will not be disappointed and you'll realize that it's worth every penny. It's a keeper for me.

I almost settled for a 714ce with a western red cedar b/s until I tried the 814ce with the rosewood b/s and sitka spruce top. Yummy! What a beautiful sounding piece of wood and steel. I am not going to change my mind, this one is for me.Now I just have to come up with the $$$'s!!

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.
