I have been looking for a strat for about 10 years and never found anything that i loved until I seen this one. I took the plunge and got it transferred from another store. I'm so happy with this guitar, plays like a dream, has a nice weight to it, and looks superb. I will change out the bridge pickup for something hotter soon. Glad to have it to add to the collection

This is one pretty guitar. Nice touches for Fender's 60th Anniversary edition such as the nitrocellulose lacquer neck and body, gold hardware and vintage locking tuners. The American Vintage 57/62 pickups sound great but are lower output than regular American Standard pickups so I adjusted the pickups higher to achieve a higher output and they still retained their clarity. The unique pickup switching on this guitar gives you that "Tele like" middle position tone in the 4th position but does this by eliminating the neck/middle out of phase setting for that position. I would have preferred if they added a push/pull knob to enable all the standard tones as well but I guess the plan was to keep the guitar as simplistic as possible. The neck on mine needs a little truss rod adjustment to take away some neck relief but it will require removing the pickguard or neck itself because the truss rod adjustment is at the base of the neck in vintage style fashion. Comes with a vintage style tweed case and 60th Anniversary booklet. This is a lot of guitar for the money and sits nicely with the 60th Anniversary American Standard Strat and 60th Anniversary Squier Strat which I am also the proud owner. Nice job Fender!

I had a feeling I would like this guitar but it has surpassed expectations already. This guitar sounds great with all the playability we all love about Strats and is absolutely gorgeous too. Very impressed by overall value. Had to take one home before they were all gone.

Traded a Delux Player's in on this one and it was the best deal I ever made. Within 2 weeks I put more hours of playing on this guitar than I did in 3 years owning the other one. Beautiful action, love the vintage sound and the awesome looks. Will never part with this one.

This guitar is amazing, I had to choose between this and the American one with price not been an issue, I chose this strictly on pictures alone. When it came in, my sales rep and I opened the case and almost fell over with what we saw, no pictures do this justice... and for the sound and playability it is A1 . I would not trade this for anything, I will order the American and squire just to have the set but this is my fav

Great guitar for the money. The vintage single coil pickups have that fifties tone and sound amazing on a tube amp. Comes with a nice case, but this is one guitar that is going to be played, not stored.

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: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 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.

Great Additions
