Classic looks, modern tone and feel! Our new Vintage Hot Rod 52 Telecaster guitar fuses the best of the old and the new in one smokin instrument.

Great classic features include vintage styling, a custom vintage Tele bridge pickup and a thin-skin nitrocellulose lacquer finish; modern features include a Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini HB humbucking neck pickup and a satin-backed neck with a flatter radius and medium-jumbo frets. Looks, sounds and feel both vintage and brand-new at the same time!

One of the best tele I have played. Everything is right on this tele, the mini humbucker at the neck is awesome. The neck is amazing. The finish is great, nitro, what else would you want.

Hello, I bought an early first year(2007) edition of this guitar on site at the scarborough long and mcquade store over two years ago. A most impressive and authentic tele, with great detailing, and the mini humbucker seymour duncan neck pick up. The most Spectacular Swamp Ash Body grain I have ever seen on a fender product!!! 6.7 pounds, thin trans butterscotch NITROCELLULOSE finish, jaw dropping to look at! Nice touches like the rounded down back edges of the bridge pick up box, nitro finish on the fret board, with a very thin satin finish on the back of the neck with rolled edges that make the neck feel super comfortable and broken in, like an old pair of jeans.(sorry for overused expression but it fits) The bridge pickup is awesome with all the right tele frequencies and liveliness, spank and brawn, wicked, wicked bridge pick up, "broadcaster" like....a little more lower mid frequency spike that ROCKS. The neck s/d pick up is WAY more expressive then a standard tele neck p/up and just plain SMOKES! Adds more girth and really sparkles at the same time. The in-between p/up setting is wide open, huge, and beautiful. Every sound is awe inspiring. The u shaped neck is bountiful yet easy to get around on. The detailing, craftsmanship, the quality of the woods, the finish, the pickups, the smoothness of the volume/tone pots, fret work, EVERYTHING is spot on and the sounds are what you'd expect for a $2000.00 american tele. Everyone drools when they see it, and players get huge smiles if I let them play it;) A solid investment, plays great, sounds stunning, and looks like it should be hanging in a museum. If you've always wanted "the one" tele that will make everything in the world feel alright...this is your baby....a great, great guitar. cheers, peter

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.
