This is Les Paul number four for me and it makes me wish I'd waited a little longer and bought a Trad instead of a Studio several years back. Trads are only a few hundred dollars more than a Studio but the tone, sustain, hand-feel, and playability are noticably superior. I genuinely figured their was little difference between ALL the Les Pauls over $1500. I won't compare the Juniors I have because they differ too much but I will go out on a limb and say this is the best sounding Gibson in the $2000-$3000 range for sure. You gotta be willing to play a guitar in a shop without being shy - who cares where your chops are at. Use headphones if you want but do a tone and playability comparison between the Les Paul's in this price range and I think you will reach the same conclusion. It's expensive, yes. But it sounds just as good as a Custom or a 50's reissue that sells for $4000+. It's the best sounding guitar I own for rock and roll, blues, punk, metal. Get a Tele if you play country (I do).

If you like pointy guitars, EMG pick ups, and howling/grunting counts as "lyrics"... the two star review is correct, otherwise ignore that guy. If you can't get a Gibson to stay in tune; it's easily remedied by a *competent* guitar tech. Traditional's are made for guys like me. I *DON'T* want locking grovers, titanium nuts, searing bright pick ups, compound radius necks feel weird to me. I like that extra bit of shoulder. I want a late fifties style neck (not a baseball bat), and binding on a solid body. I don't need a 10 top, but some flame is nice, I want the old Les Paul vibe, a sore shoulder, and that old familiar growl. Classic 57's are perfect in these guitars. I'm not buying an R9, (and if I did it would be from Historic makeovers anyway, since Gibson still does a dozen things wrong). Traditional's tick the same boxes that make those guitars great, but at a much more reasonable price point. I pay less, and don't pay for the stuff I don't want, well done boys! Chambered LP's w/ BB pros are a different beast, I own and enjoy one as well.

I owned it. I tried it. The pickups are very weak. Won't stay in tune. Extremely heavy. So sad.

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: 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.
