Purchased Summer 2018, perfect setup right out of the case. Fit and finish very good, nice Strat tone on the new pickups, great neck. A keeper. L&M staff always helpful, courteous.

A wonderful guitar. I'm not normally a Strat guy and prefer Les Pauls, Ibanez RGs, and similar humbucker equipped guitars but this one really felt 'right' as soon as I picked it up. The bigger frets and slightly wider nut really suit the rounder neck profile. Some vintage purists may prefer smaller frets, but for me this made me love it right away because it reminded me more of my RG, they're almost jumbo frets but a little thinner and really improve the playability across the whole neck. The pickups seem really well balanced, I really love the front position pickups (neck pickup, however you want to refer to it as). Sound great for cleans and lightly overdriven tones. I love how they sound through my Roland Jazz Chorus amp. They definitely aren't high output pickups, so don't be afraid to crank the guitars volume knobs up a bit more than normal, and they cut through nicely then. The finish on this guitar is beautiful as well. The limited light blue looks really nice in person, in combination with the maple neck and white pickguard. Very simple, yet just elegant to me. The weight of the guitar is also very light, mine is only a little over 7 lbs. The neck feels amazing too, a really smooth finish and comfortable right away.. the perfect mix of thin/thick neck and just feels really playable, I actually prefer it over the Elite neck and like it more than the U shape necks. As for other electronics, its worth mentioning that finally the tone knob is wired to the rear/bridge pickup so you can actually tame the high-end on it.. makes a huge difference for balancing out the frequencies and tone. The guitar also comes with the 'Elite' case, which is a really nice case. Really light weight and protects the guitar well. Definitely one of the best hard cases I've seen, some are heavy and bulky but this one is perfect to me. Overall I would recommend this Strat to anyone, it was much better than I expected.

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.
