Performance Warranty
The Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender vibe and tone. The alder body is available in a variety of finishes. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" radius. The familiar tone comes from a custom set of alnico III single-coil pickups, clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.

Great guitar. Just bought this in June 2020 over the phone from the Tracadie NB store. Staff were great, made for an easy transaction. New old stock from 2018. Needed a setup out of the box but everything fell into place nicely and the guitar plays smoothly with minimal neck relief and low action. Nothing needs to be upgraded on this guitar, in my opinion. More comfortable bridge saddles perhaps. But the hardware is solid and the pickups sound great. And the paint job. Everyone who's seen the guitar is floored by its looks. Squier hit a home run here for sure.

I purchased this unit mainly for the colour. It match's my companies corporate colour and I wanted an Office guitar to put our logo on. If this is the top of your budget, and you want a new Fender, then so be it, but the statements that this holds any candle close to American or even MIM strats are not accurate. The bridge is very cheap, and might as well be a hardtail. It's very difficult to float, and so I leave it alone. The pickguard is 1 ply and warping already the day I purchased. The machine heads are very cheap and cannot be adjusted in anyway. The pickups are OK, and the neck is authentic if only 21 frets. The finish is nice. I've had $500 Epiphone Les Pauls and think the parts quality is better on those.

This guitar is amazing. The action is super low and tone is just wonderful. I went to long and mcquade with the hopes of buying a FEnder USA strat. I tried a few and they were not that great. Then I picked up this squier classic vibe and I was blown away. This squier guitar is better than a fender USA. It may have the squier name on it, but it sure don't play like a squier. This guitar is everyone who has spent 2000 dollars and then later realized they spent 2000 dollars on a piece of junk. Save your money, buy this guitar. You won't regret it.

This guitar is fan freaking tastic! If a classic Strat is what your looking for then search no more. I recently purchased this used from L&M. It's nearly in mint condition, just a couple of small dents in the back. The neck is so awesome. My hand is so comfortable on it. It's like I want to learn every Hendrix and Stevie lick. Not to mention a few surf songs. The Sherwood Metalic Green is so nice with the vintage neck colour. If I speak about this guitars tone. I would say it's Sparkles and that makes me smile. Go get it today! You will not be disappointed. Surfs up dude,later!

This is an absolutely great guitar! The neck is beautiful to play and it sounds fantastic! I have the Tele CV 50s too, same opinion! I don't gig regularly anymore so the only concern I would have is the durability of the tuners and switch etc. on the road. I have a small home studio and for recording and jamming and such this guitar is perfect! PUPS sound great and it is solidly built!

Plays great like all the classic vibe stuff. I have the 50s tele too and have played one of the P basses in this series. I was going to change the pickups but they are actually really good. When I opened it up though I saw it had mini pots. Which is odd because my tele has full size branded ALPHA pots. It did come from 2013 when this was an FSR. It might be different for the newer ones... I'd buy this again...I'm impressed...

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.
