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.

Description
This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200™ Standard in Grizzly Burst has a unique set of features that will stand out in any collection of acoustic guitars. This SJ-200 Standard is a prime example of what is possible through Gibson Custom Select and Made to Measure. These guitars have handpicked features from select tonewoods to custom finishes and hand-selected inlay appointments. This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 Standard features a bearclaw spruce top, a bound headstock with an inlaid script Gibson logo, a custom Grizzly Burst finish, and many more hand-selected features.
The SJ-200 has been known as the "King of the Flat-tops" since its introduction in the late-1930s. This jumbo-sized acoustic guitar typically features a spruce top with maple back and sides, although pre-war examples featured rosewood back and sides. Fitted with a Western-themed pickguard, the SJ-200 was adopted by early country singers with other western motifs adorned across the guitar. The long scale length combined with the large body makes for a powerful sound that is perfect for heavy strumming. The SJ-200 Standard is known for its piano-like sound qualities with a wide frequency response from the pronounced low end to the enhanced top end.
Special features on this Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 go from top to bottom. Starting with the body, a bearclaw spruce top with the brand-new Grizzly Burst finish is featured on the body of this jumbo acoustic guitar. Bearclaw spruce is uncommon to find on acoustic guitars as the figured tonewood is rare. Each piece of bearclaw spruce is inherently unique, just like a fingerprint. The Grizzly Burst finish features a water-based stain in combination with sprayed burst edges. This technique highlights the bearclaw spruce in a beautiful fashion while showing off the three-dimensional quality of the figured tonewood. Striped ebony is used on the bridge Moustache™ bridge as well as the inlay-free fretboard. The headstock is bound and features an inlaid script Gibson logo.
All of these hand-selected features made for a unique SJ-200 Standard. These unique appointments combine modern craftsmanship with classic design features that make for a timeless aesthetic. This SJ-200 Standard will be admired by anyone who has an appreciation for fine artistry. This unique set of features showcases what is possible through Gibson Custom Select and Made to Measure. Included with the guitar is a hardshell case and a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
