Long & McQuade Performance Assurance
Buying a new instrument is an exciting event and we want to ensure that every instrument we sell comes exactly how the manufacturer intended it to be. That is why Long & McQuade performs a quality control check for every stringed, brass, and woodwind instrument over $99 ordered online at Long-McQuade.com.
Our team of experienced staff will unbox your instrument and perform a detailed inspection to ensure it leaves our warehouse looking and playing great with our QC card signed and dated for your peace of mind.
We work hard to source the best instruments from around the world from the finest brands. It is important to us that you are completely satisfied with your new instrument purchase from day one onwards.
Stringed Instrument Performance Assurance Checklist
Unlike our free set-up, which is included within the first year of purchase, this process is done to have the instrument set to the factory specs rather than to each player's feel or preferences.
We look after the following:
- Inspect finish and hardware.
- Check electronics to make sure everything is in working order. Check batteries on active pickups.
- Inspect strings.
- Inspect frets and fretboard.
- Check truss rod. Adjust for bow and relief.
- Tune instrument to manufacturer’s specified tuning.
- Check/set action height.
- Stretch strings and re-tune instrument and ensure machine heads are working well.
- Check for fret buzz by playing every note.
- Check/set intonation.
- Check/set pickup height.
- Cleaning and professional repacking.
The Gibson Les Paul Custom is the ultimate way to experience what makes the Les Paul so special. With a solid Mahogany body and a carved Maple Top, the Custom is finished in stunning Alpine White with Gold hardware. I think it's fair to say it's a real eye catcher.
The Mahogany neck boasts a 24.75" scale length, an Ebony fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays; it feels perfectly balanced and poised, just as a Les Paul should. This is the long awaited return of the Ebony board, this is the ultimate powerhouse LP!
The Les Paul Custom is loaded with a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge. These humbuckers deliver that tone that only a Les Paul can produce. With Alnico II and V magnets they are inspired by the original PAF pickups that have become so iconic.
A real powerhouse, this Gibson Les Paul Custom comes complete with Gibson hardcase for great protection at home and on the road.

Reviews
Dream guitar that lives up to the legacy 4 of 4 customers found this review helpful
She was able to purchase one, it was 100% brand new. Still in the shipping box. It was love at first sight. I’m a professional musician, and producer/composer. But I’ve had some health issues. And I haven’t been able to do much work, or play as much as I’d like to. I’m in my very early 30’s, and I’ve been working in the industry since I was a young child. This guitar, had always been just out of reach for me. But I’m slowly learning that life is very short. And when fate drops a Les Paul Custom in your lap, you take it!
I am more than happy with this guitar. Beautifully hand crafted, fit and finish is perfect. Setup was perfect straight away. Frets are nice and short, but not too short! It’s truly beautiful. And I feel EXTREMELY privileged to FINALLY own one! I’ve waited a long time. And I have no complaints. The case, is gorgeous! Yellow interior, well padded with the double neck rests. It’s just great. The alnico 4 and 5 490 and 498 pups are just FULL of life. Full of tone. I adjusted the bass end of the neck for a fuller, bluesy sound. Easy peasy ;). Grover tuners are perfect. Binding is gorgeous. The guitar is everything you’d ever want from a custom shop, and more.
I hope to be well enough to take it on stage soon. I’ve bonded with it. I bonded instantly with it. The neck is so cool! It starts off a little slimmer until you’re at the 5th to 7th frets. And then you begin to feel the fatter, more 50’s style profile. Chords, leads, scales. It’s great for any style of playing. Volume and tone knobs are FAST. You can roll your volume with your pinky quickly and without resistance.
Gibson custom shop did an incredible job. I’m very proud to own this guitar. And again, I cannot wait to be healthy enough to get it up on stage with me someday soon. It’ll be my main studio Gibson from here on out.
Highly recommend this batch if you can get your hands on one.
Thanks to long and mcquade Dartmouth for being so helpful and accommodating! You guys made myself, and my wife (Also a musician) very happy :). Peace, and love to you and the guys at Gibson.

Disappointing 7 of 9 customers found this review helpful
The first one arrived with a large scrape along the neck like they overscraped the paint off the binding. I returned it and ordered another.
On the next one, the fret ends were very rough and uneven. Most of the white fret nibs were scuffed black for some reason. I returned it as well.
Not what I expected from a custom shop guitar for the price. Pretty disappointing after waiting months for each to arrive.

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.
