The Wildkat Red Royales Mahogany body is matched with a hand-fitted, glued-in solid Hard Maple neck for maximum tone and sustain. The neck has dot inlays, a 24.75 scale, and Epiphones fan-favorite SlimTaperTM profile thats easy on the hands for long hours of performing and rehearsing. The classic Rosewood fingerboard has a 12 radius and a standard 1.68 nut. The Wildkats headstock features Epiphones early 60s bullet badge, seen on rare models from the early 60s including the very first Casino in 1961. And it also comes with world famous Grover machine heads with an 18:1 ratio for fast and accurate tuning.

The original Wildkat not only brought a new look to modern archtops but it also re-introduced Epiphone P-90 pickups to a new generation. P-90s are one of the most versatile single coil pickups in the world. A favorite of pop, rock, jazz, and rockabilly players, P-90s have powered classics by The Beatles, Oasis, and GRAMMYTM winner Gary Clark Jr. The Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Red Royale features a P-90R Dogear Classic in the rhythm position and a slightly hotter P-90T Dogear Classic in the lead position. The pickups are powered by a master volume control, individual volume controls, and a master tone control with standard-equipped 500K potentiometers and Top Hat knobs.

I won't be the first or last person to claim that there's a lot of guitar here for an almost criminally low price. I love the P-90 pickups. It has a marvellous 50s-style twang and a very warm growl when you give it some overdrive. The ability the blend the two pickups gives it a very versatile palette of sounds to work with. I must also wax lyrical in regards to the finish. Pictures do not do it justice. The red royale finish, combined with the eye-popping silver speckle binding, is absolutely gorgeous. There have been some sweet finishes for Wildcats in the past, but this one stands out, and I want to specifically thank Long & McQuade for securing me a Red Royale while they were still available!

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: 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.
