I bought this guitar used from the guy who wrote a 3 thumbs down review. It was a little out of adjustment when I bought it. But after a proper set up, it plays amazing. No issues whatsoever. Decent alternative to the J45 if some one wants to save a few bucks.

I bought this new from Long & Mcquade on February 14th 2018. At first I thought that it would be my new sweetheart, but turned out not to be. I returned it because it had a issue with the two wings on the headstock appeared to be loosening. The replacement had an almost unplayable action so I returned to the store to get it set up. It came back to me damaged and the action was still quite high. I discovered later that it had also developed a bow, I took it upon myself to adjust the truss rod only to find that it was maxed out! Back to the store I went. They sent it to Yorkville because Gibson doesn't honor its lifetime warranty in Canada. Yorkville said that once the guitar sat in proper humidity that the bow magically disappeared. I now realize they did a heat adjustment of the neck. Once returned to me the luthier at L&M told me to just play the guitar the way it is. So now I own a $2000 guitar that is only "playable" turned down a whole step! L&M 👎 Gibson👎 Yorkville 👎

Just bought this guitar in 2020. There was a 2016 model at my local store and an employee recommended it. we played it next to the jumbo and the j45 sunburst and no joke it sounds better than the jumbo and it stands neck and neck with the j45 and those guitars are both worth 6000!! Great value as i got it on sale for 1900 plus tax. It had the absolute straightest neck when i looked down it. It was constructed perfectly and has beautiful tone and even looks great! If theres one in your store check it out. I might have just gotten one that was built on a good day but it is a great value and worth checking out if you are interested in a gibson round shoulder!

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.
