Beast of a guitar 11 of 11 customers found this review helpful




















I have a Gibson 58 VOS that I have become very comfortable with so I knew exactly what I wanted in terms of neck specs. I have been looking for a 3/4 guitar for a LONG time but I couldn't find one I really dug.
58 VOS NECK // 24.75" scale length // 1.687" at the nut // 12" fingerboard radius.
This little beast is 24" scale length // 1.687" at the nut // 12" fingerboard radius.
Right away it felt super natural in my hands ( not as thick as my 58 which some people might actually prefer ) Out of the box it played really well. The quality is spot on. The open gear tuning pegs are brilliant because they will last forever unlike some of those cheap chrome plated encased tuners. The finish is smooth as silk and blemish free, I even tossed a little polish on there and it really brought out the reds. I played for about 3 hours. Chords, some solos with some nice big bends, switching frets with a capo, taking the capo off etc and it stayed in tuned like a rock.
Really impressed with this twanger, nice work Gretsch ( All this coming from a Gibson guy :P )
PS Thanks Long and Mcquade Burlington for the safe and fast curbside pickup. I've been shopping at Burlington Long and Mcquade since I was a kid and it was on Guelph / New Street.

I’ll make another review after giving it a chance. Make no mistake, I’m buying a campfire guitar so as to not take my expensive Martin camping.... it is a nice guitar for 250.00 and it is a Gretsch. We will give it an honest try
Jim Dandy is just dandy-fine:) 4 of 4 customers found this review helpful




















Great guitar, all things considered 5 of 6 customers found this review helpful




















Quality is great, for what it is. If you're buying this thing I doubt you'd expect it to match a pre-war martin in quality, and it doesn't have to. The fretboard has decent inlay work, the frets aren't noticeably uneven in terms of height - but the edges just above the fingerboard could do with a bit of a sanding if you want to reverse the strings and play lefty. The sound is good, but one-dimensional. It's boxy, doesn't push out a lot of bass and does very well in the midrange and treble range - it's a fingerstyle blues machine, and if you play softer it'll do chords and a more folksy fingerstyle just fine, but that's not what it was made to do.
As far as value goes it's a tough one, it doesn't have a solid soundboard, it doesn't have a pickup, it doesn't feature any fancy woods or veneers. BUT it's a cheap guitar and it does that cheap old blues box sound that most other guitars just plain fail at. Also, been three years of regular playing and occasionally having to leave the thing in my car in a gig-bag in the summer for months on end - and it's holding up just fine. I've no doubt it'll last as long as I want to keep it around.

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.
