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
A fanned variant of Taylor V-Class® voicing architecture increases low-end resonance, volume, sustain and harmonic agreement between notes up and down the fretboard. A slender Action Control Neck™ enables swift string height adjustments without requiring removal of the neck or strings. Its long-tenon design enhances the wood coupling between body and neck, further boosting low-end resonance.
This model features a modified peghead shape with an angled-back design, script-style Taylor logo and paua purfling that culminates in a distinctive visual flourish at its crown. Other aesthetic touches include a full-body gloss finish, new paua/mother-of-pearl Continental Deluxe inlays, a single-ring paua/Honduran rosewood rosette, a Honduran rosewood curve wing bridge, Indian rosewood bridge pins, grained ivoroid binding, and paua fretboard and top purfling. Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners with ebony buttons, this model comes in a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.
