I’m leaving a quick review for my ‘18 LP Classic Gold Top on this page since I can’t find the GT link. All three colors including the Pelham Blue and Ebony are beautiful. I’ve always thought the classics were the best value for money, specifically when dealing with solid finishes like ebony or gold. What makes the ‘18 lineup unique is that they have the P90s in them with the upgraded electronics that Gibson started marketing for all their guitars ‘19 and beyond when new ownership took over. This Gold Top pays homage to the ‘56 (kinda) and ‘68 (especially) GTs that Gibson built. If you can pick one up for less than $2k do it otherwise you gotta $3k+ to get the 50s Standard or a custom shop LP.

C'est une guitare formidable, une vraie machine de rock'n roll. La finition de cette guitare est impeccable. Ma seule critique est au niveau des clés Grover qui étaient de mauvaise qualité, 2 des 6 manquaient certainement de lubrification à l'usine. Je les ai tout de suite remplacées par des Grover locking tuners 18:1 qui, heureusement, étaient toutes de meilleure qualité.

This guitar is my first venture into the $1000+ guitar range, was a little hesitant at buying my first les Paul with P-90s but do they ever sing. The craftsmanship is impreccable, the tone is a perfect mix of clean single coil with that bluesy neck pickup tone only a les Paul can give. Highest recommendations.

I was torn between the honey burst traditional and the Pelham blue classic. I bought the classic.I love the guitar. I am just being fussy on not giving it a 5 for quality. Like most gibson's, the neck joint could us a little more attention but overall, this thing is beautiful and plays as good as it looks.The P90s are incredible. You can get some great tones with very small tweeks on the controls. I am playing it through a small Ibanze tube amp and the thing sounds killer. Very happy with it.

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.
