The ESP-designed ALH-200B active humbucker provides powerful drive and articulate tone, while the visual appointments offer tons of vibe.

I read/watched as many reviews as I could for this guitar before I bought it. There aren't that many for this model. I was feeling pretty unsure about my purchase even as I punched in my code to pay for it. In the end I am very happy. No Regrets, whatsoever. I used to have a Baby Taylor. A great little acoustic guitar. But the pickup and tuner felt like they were a bit in the cheap side. It was a little bulky for 3/4 size guitar. The LTD ec-1 has a great active pickup that sounds great through my amp. Like a full size guitar. The onboard amp for the guitar is decent but could be better. The overdrive sounds kind of thick and muddy through my headphones but the cleans and distortion are great. The aux in is great for running backing tracks, metronome or songs from your phone. Full size neck on a small body guitar feels very natural. You might have to adjust a little but it practically plays the same as a full size guitar. It has no tuner but my snark clip-on fits right on the non-head. It could have had a built in tuner though. Ultimate travel practice guitar. I feel the quality is very good. It feels very sturdy when you hold it and even though it is light overall it still has enough weight to feel comfortable. The tuning heads have a smooth movement but felt a little stiff at first. Differently from what I read in reviews. This guitar stays in tune. I played it for just over 2hrs and it only went out a little on the strings I was bending repetitively. I also had it in Eb tuning and it held pretty well. The Frets and setup were pretty good right off the wall. It doesn't feel like a cheap piece of gear. Because it is most definitely not cheap. This guitar almost cost $1000. It is expensive for it's size. There are a ton of very decent and even great guitars in the $750 - 1000 range I could have bought. But none of those guitars can be comfortably played while sitting inside the cab of my work truck, although I do end up sitting a little bit more on the right side of the seat. You are paying for a truly portable guitar that plays like a full size, that can go anywhere and store just about anywhere. After the exchange rate from USD I can't imagine L&M are making a ton of money selling these. It may feel expensive, but it is fair. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I can take it to work and practice/play it in my downtime. Every little session helps and it is always an arms length away. Which makes it easy to pick up and play anytime. I bought it to have around at all times so I could practice more. That is exactly what I'm doing and It can only help me get better at playing guitar. Very satisfied with my purchase.

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.
