Of all the guitar styles in the world, I never wanted a hollow-body. Not just that, but I sure wouldn't be caught dead with a WHITE guitar with GOLD hardware! I'm no cowboy! However when I plugged my MXR distortion pedal in along with it, I was absolutely floored! I can't believe I've been missing out for so long! Billy Duffy on his Falcon! The added resonance smoothes out and balances the distortion with warmth and more meat. It's the meat-lovers pizza of the guitar world. Planning on purchasing my 3rd hollow Gretsch shortly. This guitar is great.

Great Gretsch for the money. Improved Electromatic that finally does not feel and sound cheap. Bigsby a bit stiff and pickups not as bright as the ones in my 6120. Might get tvjones in the future. Craftsmanship is flawless and the fiddle is stunningly beautiful. I am now the king of bling. I call it "the poor man's White Falcon"

I own about 18 guitars. They are all probably valued at less than $2000.00 each. Most are between $500.00 to a $1000.00. I like changing pickups on guitars and consider this a bit of a hobby as well as the fact that I thoughoughly enjoy playing. Mostly Rock'n Roll. It has a nice rockabilly sound, but the grungier sounds of hard rock come through really well. To be technical, I would say that the action on this guitar is great! I am not a lead guitarist, but when I do play lead it really stands out. Being a hollow body it does have distortion issues the same as all hollow bodies but, if controlled well, the sound stands out. It even stays in tune rather well. It is a hot guitar! Even looks good. Obviously, that's why I bought it. Came well set up out of the box and have had no issues with it. I bought it a year ago. Really a fantastic value for the money. I would recommend it any day of the week.

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.
