I had my eye on this guitar for quite a while - when Gibson re-issued it as part of the 2016 line up I made sure to play it and later on buy it. Fantastic guitar - amazing quality and value, I do not believe you could purchase a better Gibson for the price. Some LP Studios were previously made very well and had a similar price range but going forward I believe this is a complete steal Sounds great - fretboard feels nice and inlays look very good. I have the Gold top version which is a nice color. The guitar is a bit lighter than your regular studio / standard (this is expected due to the difference in price) great tone Recommended - do your own setup so your playing something you like but go ahead and purchase it

Well, I walked into L&M on boxing day just to look around. Saw a lot of great prices, then I saw this guitar. I immediately took it to an amp room and played it. After hearing and playing this guitar, I took it home. I played the shit out of it for days and days hours and hours. I only have 2 complaints. First, the string job was crap and wouldn't keep it's tuning. After forcing L&M to give me new string so I could restring it myself, it stays in tune perfectly now. The other complaint, well isn't really a complaint but more of a suggestion. I would have loved the push pull nobs on the pickup controls. Overall I am totally thrilled with this guitar. The sound is very traditional and maybe more brilliant too. My shoulder and spin are still aligned. hahaha I have the matte black and I think it's beautiful just the way it is. I love the stripped down get to work look!!

This is my first (and maybe last) Les Paul. Like the other poster on this thread......I bought this guitar for 6-hundred-and-something dollars during the Boxing Day promotion. There are a lot of reviews out there on this guitar (muscian'sfriend.com had some of the best I've found). All I can add is that's there's one day left on this sale. Forget bang-for-your-buck...this is a working man's guitar. Go get one, too!

I am a huuuuge fender fan, but after picking this thing up and hearing its chunky tone when overdriven and its thick warm cleans, I may have to cheat on my strat for a while. : >

I have owned this guitar for about three months. After having it professionally set up it has been great. It would be pretty hard to find a better value with a reasonable amount of quality in another guitar made in the USA. Plus I really like the matte black finish it has on it.

I've only owned this guitar a little under 24 hours but I have to say that I love this thing. It's a stripped down version compared to it's $2000 + brothers but what can you expect at this price point? The bottom line is you get what you need; great tone, nice pick ups, classic LP look and Made in US quality.

These guitars originally were released with P90s, these newer ones feature humbuckers 490 and 498s. This guitar is a great value and sounds great, giving that classic LP tone. The finish is a matte finish and looks really good in a gold top, hard to find, mine is ebony. My only disapointment is the unfinished feel of the sides of the neck. It is very rough, the frets feel like they were not filed enough. You think Gibson would not allow them to leave the factory like this. It digs into your hand. I am having them professionally filed for $100. Adding nickel plated pick up covers will make the guitar appear more finished. Overall a keeper after a few tweaks.

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.
