I bought this guitar used from a dude that had just bought it at L & M thinking he could use it as a shredder guitar. I have a small hand and the slim taper neck is perfect, although slim taper means nothing as no two are the same size. The pickups are really nice, but the bridge offered no intonation adjustment except the 2 screws at the posts. I replaced the bridge with a german made wrap around bridge with movable saddles (Philadelphia Luthier Supply) and the stock tuners are terrible - also repalced with a similar style Gotoh. The big issue with these gutars is separation of the neck froim the body - after 2 days in a moderately humid basement closet (+/- 45% - with numerous other guitars) the finish split where the heel of the neck joins the body. My luthier advises that the mortise and tenon are very poorly cut in these and other mid teens Gibson guitars - large gaps and little wood to wood contact. I spent $300.00 on the repair because I love the way the guitar plays, but what a dissapointment. Garbage construction of an otherwise delightful guitar, once you replace the bridge and tuners.

Bought this guitar as an affordable upgrade from the Gibson LP Jr. and I love it. The action can easily be set, the intonation is just as quick with there only being two screws to mess with and 3 strap posts for those who like to have options! the only thing I was skeptical about was the wrap around bridge and I do wish it had a tunomatic bridge for more accurate intonation but all things considered it is pretty accurate. It's nothing anyone would notice in a live situation and I've had no complaints as far as playing it in the studio. For the action, the binding along the neck is a big bonus for comfortability and as always it's as flat and solid feeling as a Gibson should feel. All and all this thing kicks and looks good doing it. no it's not the same design in the body as ones built pre 2005ish (or when ever) but personally I think the new look gives it a more 335 feel to it and I'm a fan of those guitars as well. my over all opinion about this thing is no it's not a standard but it's damn close for about 1500 bucks less. Fine by me.

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.
