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
During the Great Depression, when optimism was low, Gibson created a new line of "advanced" instruments with enlarged body dimensions that delivered increased volume, projection, and improved bass response. One of these new models was the Advanced Jumbo, which was initially produced for only three years: from 1936 until its discontinuation in 1938. Due to its relatively low production numbers, the model largely flew under the radar for many players despite being a superb-sounding and performing instrument. Today, vintage Advanced Jumbo models are some of the most desirable, highly valued, and arguably best-sounding vintage acoustic guitars in the world. They're loud and responsive, with plenty of bass that's matched by articulate and balanced treble. Now, Gibson is proud to introduce the new Advanced Jumbo Original, a modern version of this legendary vintage icon with refinements that make it even more appealing and useful for today's guitarists.
Like the vintage models, the Advanced Jumbo Original features a round shoulder rosewood body. It also features a Sitka spruce top that is reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing. In a nod to the preferences of many modern players, the 25.5" mahogany neck has a comfortable SlimTaper™ profile that makes it easy to play for hours on end and is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint that is fitted with hot hide glue. The neck is capped with an Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12" radius. The fretboard is equipped with 19 standard frets and decorated with the traditional Advanced Jumbo mother-of-pearl "Diamond and Arrows" inlays. The nut and saddle are bone, while the bridge pins are TUSQ®. The soundhole features historically accurate vintage 30s Advanced Jumbo dimensions and is slightly smaller than the soundholes used on most current Gibson acoustic guitars.
Nickel-plated Grover® open-back tuners further contribute to the Advanced Jumbo Original's vintage vibe, along with the Roy Smeck-style Firestripe pickguard and the script-style mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and Diamond and Arrows headstock inlay. To help make the Advanced Jumbo Original even more useful to today's guitarists, it comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle transducer and preamp, with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are easily accessible for the player while remaining practically invisible to the audience. The Advanced Jumbo Original has a beautiful gloss Vintage Sunburst finish and comes packed in a Gibson hardshell case to keep it safe while traveling to your next performance.

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.
