Picked this guitar up recently. Used from L and M. Tried other Telecasters but the neck and frets on this are perfect for me. Cant put it down. My Gibson's aren't coming out of the cases since I got this one home. I cant see what the difference is between it and the MIM version other than the gig bag. At 300. 00, unbelievable value...really!

I've owned many teles throughout the years including Squier classic vibes and affinitys and Fender Road Worns and Fender American standards and a Fender Custom shop tele. This is the only one I still have and that's because it is an absolutely amazing guitar. It is one of the easiest guitars I have ever played. It stays in tune and it is a nice weight. The neck is quite a bit chunkier then any other Squiers I have had and the frets are also a nice bigger size. The part I can't believe is how sweet the pickups sound. I have played guitar for about 50 yrs and I bought this guitar thinking I would replace the pickups but not a chance, they sound fantastic. I simply can't believe the quality of this guitar. A big thanks to L&M for their great service and also to Fender for building such a great guitar at a great price!

Excellent Quality. I have had many Fenders from the cheapest Squiers to American Deluxe. Things just get better and better at Fender.

I never thought I'd love a humbucker on a Tele, but I do. Having separate pots for each pickup allows me to blend the clear chimey (but not-too-chimey) bridge with the fat neck pickup to produce the best of single coil clarity with the power of a humbucker. I also thought that I'd prefer a bridge humbucker and single coil in the neck, but as the months went by, I can't help but think I was stupid for thinking so. And if you're blending both pickups, you can alternate your tone nicely by simply altering where you pick - fattening up your chords by moving a bit to the neck, or ringing through by sliding back to the bridge. The only difference between this Squier Telecaster custom, the American version, and the OG is the Squier Logo and the bullet truss and three bolt neck. Had they not gone to these lengths to brand this as a cheaper version, no one would have any cause to buy the American or the Custom Shop. It plays like butter, sounds fantastic, and if you're favoring the front pickup there's less of that single coil hiss I'd grown accustom to on my Telecaster. For the first time in 25 years of playing, I'm considering raising my action, playing this guitar is so easy, it sort of feels like cheating.

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.
