Simple and elegant, this a great American Standard Stratocaster cloaked in an all-black
finish complemented by a black pickguard, black control knobs, black pickup covers and?
in a rare touch for a Fender instrument?a smooth-playing ebony fingerboard. Its Mystic
Black finish lends an air of noir-ish sophistication, complemented by fleeting hints of sparkle.
Its three single-coil Custom Shop Fat '50s deliver warm and crystalline classic Stratocaster tone.

I've always wanted a start with an ebony board. Love the feel of the neck. The sound quality is great but the output level of each pickup is very different so it is difficult to get an even sound out of each selection. Because of this, I tend to use the bridge & middle/bridge combo the most. The little flecks of sparkle are a nice added touch. I got this guitar for the neck & playability. Very few strats I've played can compare. It's essentially a standard strat with an ebony board. Is it worth the price? Probably not. But I love it & couldn't imagine parting with it. I'll keep tweeking the pickups but I'm happy with my overall experience.

It's a unique Stratocaster. It plays and sounds great! But ... it is what it is. I was attracted to the black-out look. The body actually has a very subtle sparkle and is not flat black. It's a traditional alder body, but with a low profile neck and chunky frets. The fit and finish is pretty much perfect. The pickups are outstanding. It also has the bypass for the bridge pickup to run straight through for a really clean connection. You just turn the tone to 10. To sum it up, the ebony fingerboard is nice, doesn't clank like maple, but not quite as dead as rosewood. The neck is fairly flat and tapers width wise towards the nut. So ya, it's modern traditional. But the sound, the sound is the best original Strat sound I've heard in a long time. It's very open and clear. 'Not noiseless, but great overtones.

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.
