First of all, I thank all L&M staff for being patient with me. I spent more than 10 hours in total at the store, trying to decide which guitar will accompany me for the lifetime. I ordered finally this showcase flame maple. I cannot believe how satisfied I am with this Simon and patrick guitar. Best value for your buck. I love its design and the luxurious headstock logo. Yet the fretboard is not rosewood for 2019 flame maple model. It is richlite fretboard and ebony bridge. Sound is very sweet. It is bright yet I am impressed with the low bass sound. How delightful the tone is! Compared to S&P woodland pro and woodland, it is less loud and straightforward sounding yet the sound is more sophisticated. They use adirondack spruce top. Last but not least, This showcase flame maple has an amazing playability. Low action with smooth movement down the fretboard with my fingers. One of the reason I choose Simon Patrick guitar is the playability. It just feels so smooth and my hands recognize its comfort. It is almost like the Taylor guitars that is so smooth to play. In conclusion, I agree with people saying that this guitar (showcase -mahogany/rosewood/flame maple) sounds and feels like 2X its price! I totally recommend people to try this Canadian guitar before Martin or Taylor.

An elegant, feminine, and sweet sounding guitar. I find it great for more gentle playing styles, like finger picking, as it has no pick guard. Solidly constructed.

This was a gift to me in 2008 and I agree with the previous review, the older it gets the better it sounds. I received it as a Christmas gift when I was just learning guitar and it was a little tough to learn on at first but nothing unmanageable. Throughout the years it has suited my needs and grown into a versatile instrument. It has a nice bright sound and deep bassy notes that don't ring too much. It's comfortable to play and can really be hammered on to produce a LOT of volume. I currently have D'Addario Phosphor Bronze, Bluegrass, 12-56 strings on it and they have such a warm sound. Also, the flame maple back is just gorgeous. It sounds amazing on a Fender Acoustasonic amp. Great guitar to start with and last throughout your lifetime!

Purchased in 2005 at L&M Calgary. Just getting sweeter with age. Can't believe all the comments we receive from people hearing it.Canada makes some great guitars at much less the cost. I love listening to my wife play.

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.
