Limited to only 60 guitars, the LM60-D28 commemorates the 60th Anniversary of Long & McQuade Musical Instruments. The Martin D-28 is the Dreadnought by which all others are judged. Constructed of solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and Spruce top, this instrument has been a favorite of artists from Hank Williams Sr. to Jimmy Page. Massive bass response balanced with articulate highs makes this a benchmark acoustic guitar and a must-have for every guitarist. Perfect for the intermediate and advanced player.

Extra appointments over a regular d 28 are nice, i would love to own it. I may have to look into the L&M budget payment plan, this guitar is haunting me.

The Martin D28 is the most prized and iconic guitar for its noteworthy projection and uniquely identifiable tone since it was introduced in 1931. The D28 utilizes quality tone woods and is exceptionally well made. In my view Martin has created an acoustic icon. The D28 captures the essence of balance, tone and note separation rarely found on other guitars. Perhaps that's why the D28 has been cherished by many artists in so many different genres? From Blues to Bluegrass, Rock and Country, artists such as Jimmy Page, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Paul McCartney have all played and recorded on the D28. That being said the D28 is not cheap and it's not flashy. However, its projection, estimable tone and build quality has made it the most copied guitar in existence! Looking at the racks of guitars at Long and McQuade it is easy to see how it could get lost in the myriad of choices and price points. Don't be fooled. Examine the Martin and decide for yourself? I did. I played and asked others play for me essentially every guitar in Long and McQuade. Many thanks to L&M Staff and those customers who freely offered their time and assistance! After comparing the tonal qualities of virtually every guitar in store the LM60-D28 stood out to me as the best sounding guitar overall. The final result was a surprise to me given that some guitars examined were selling for hundreds more and in one case thousands more than the LM60-D28! What makes the LM60- D28 so special? I believe this guitar characterizes the clearest notes, the best balance and the most pleasing tone of any guitar in the store. Moreover, I liked the fact that the LM60-D28 is one of only 60 such guitars uniquely made for Canadian Long and McQuade customers. Who knows the LM60-D28 may be worth a whole lot more someday?

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.
