Love my new FG830…. It’s a beauty and sounds great. Fabulous quality and feel you see in guitars costing 3 times more. Gorgeous sound and rich deep notes. Many years of practice and playing ahead for me. This review is also about the store - Saskatoon 8th St - and Mike my salesman. Mike took the time, walked me thru options and helped with accessories. Amazing job - I was only looking but bought because he was kind and obviously a pro. Thanks!!

Excellent guitar for anyone . It rings like a bell and with the solid spruce top , it will only sound better the more it’s played and the older it gets . You will not be disappointed with the purchase of this FG 830 . P.S. this is an honest review of this guitar , as I have owned it for 6 years now . It is Rock solid . I use 12/53 nickel bronze strings on mine and I love the sound . Deep lows clear and bright highs with a well balanced midrange , combined with excellence volume , it’s simply an amazing guitar .

I won't profess to be an expert by any means, but when I was shopping for a guitar 2-1/2 years ago I wanted a relatively decent one, not a cheapie "beginner" guitar. I tried everything I could get my hands on up to the $350 mark and was not impressed with anything. My local shop offered to bring one of these FG830s in when I asked about Rosewood, and from the first E-chord strum I knew this was the one that had "the sound" I was after. It is rich, full and vibrant sounding, has a long sustain, stays in tune quite well, and looks great in tobacco burst. All the other amateur guys in my jam night regularly comment on the terrific sound this guitar has. Recently I put a lowered Graphtech Tusq saddle and Ernie Ball Earthtone 80-20 strings on it, and wow does it ever come alive more than ever now. The only negative quality thing to say is the slot to put the saddle in does not appear to be routed out flat, it has a dip in the middle so only the ends of the saddle contact the wood surface (I'm presuming it should be flat?). Overall though for the sound quality I think it was worth every dollar above my original price range.

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.
