I bought this guitar as a replacement for my budget Epiphone PRO-1. What a difference a solid top makes! Terrific sounding guitar for the price! I got it fresh out-of-the-box and the string action was a bit high for me so a set-up was needed but once that was done it's a joy to play. I haven't tried plugging it in to an acoustic amp, but I never needed to because it has really good volume. It has a built in tuner, but I have never got it out of tune, and I strum really hard! Highly recommended!

This is a great guitar; the price is good, and it plays really well - stays in tune very very well. This guitar is good for intermediate to advanced players, I think - but you could use it as a beginner - but there are better beginner options out there. Amazing guitar.

I've owned this guitar for five months.. Great prize, Nice sound, Solid top Nice finish. This guitar changed the way I play guitar, Little bit too big but you'll get used to it in no time!,Not a beginner guitar, sounds almost like a Twelve string when plugged in to the Fender acoustic amp, good features. Definitely recommended for Acoustic Lovers. Enjoy

i got this guitar for my birthday this year. So far it has been amazing. When i was looking at guitars i was drawn to the yamaha cpx500ii pretty looks. i am so happy i didnt get it. i played the 2 guitars next to eachother and what a difference in sound and this was also 50 dollars less! its loud, has a built in tuner and pick up and makes you sound better then you are! the only downfall is its really big. i would recommend this to intermeaditates and beginners!

I've had this guitar for half a year now and the more I play it the better it sounds to me. If you are looking for a inexpensive intermediate/beginner guitar, this one will definitely not disappoint you. The electronics may not be the best but for this price I doubt you can find anything better.

This is a great beginer/intermediate guitar. Nice warm sound when finger picked and bright and punchy when flatpicked. The onboard tuner and electronics are a bonus for this money. I have owned other guitars at two or three times this price that didn't sound and perform this nice. Its up there in quality

The guitar is nicely constructed, it's asthetically pleasing with a quality fit & finish. It's very clear and rich sounding on it's own and even better when plugged into an amp! This is my 2nd guitar (...but my first Yamaha). I'm a novice/intermediate guitar player at best... and I believe this is guitar is perfectly suited to my needs, skills, and budget range of $300. Great buy!

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.
