I bought this for sentimental reasons. I used to play one of these back in the 60s in my first full-time working band. The band borrowed it from a young lady and then lent it to me so I could play in the band. The young lady recently tracked me down -- She still has the original guitar and it is worth a small fortune now . . . but that is the original guitar made in the 50s-60s. So, I just bought this guitar and I'm looking it over. It's a very nice piece and plays beautifully. Sounds absolutely wonderful. Note that the P-90 pickups are single coil, so there is that buzz that has to be dealt with -- positioning, noise gate with effects, etc. With no adjustable bridge tuners, there is some engineering magic that manages to keep the pitch all the way up and down the neck. Much like and acoustic guitar or the vintage Tele 3 bridge piece wonders. Wondering what will happen when I go to my chosen strings and gauge. Hence the free Long and McQuade setup guaranty. Nice! Just a note that this model was not a Japanese made guitar as one reviewer alluded to. It was made exclusively "for" Japanese Gibson guitar enthusiasts. I've read that there is an aged version as well -- but again, made only for the Japanese buyers market. Please correct me of I'm wrong. This is a limited edition -- Does that make it a viable collector's guitar? I don't know yet, but we shall see. For now, I'm just going to play it and use it in my studio -- Super studio quality! dcb

Bought this guitar a few months back. It was used for a really good price (about $1000). I was stoked.. there are a few things that set this apart from other Specials. This was a Limited Edition run for Japan, that L&M happened to get their hands on as well. The appointments are very history specific. That wrap around bridge for instance. This is a really close rendition of the original! Unfortunately for me, mine came with a twisted neck! Now the low price made sense... I'm still interested in buying one of these, but there are none available locally and I don't want to be tagged with a 10% non refundable deposit if this one too comes with some issues... As with all things Gibson... don't buy before you try.

I love this guitar. P90s sound so good.. w tone and volume give lots of options. My only problem is with the high price tag. I think 1700 plus taxes is a bit too hight when you look at other gibsons in the lineup. This is supposed to be an affordable les paul.

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.
