Perfect acoustic Guitar2 of 3 customers found this review helpful




















The best feature would have to be the neck, it's got a small profile that fits perfectly in the hand.
If your are looking for a new acoustic guitar look no further and go get yourself one of these guitars, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED

I've owned this guitar for almost 10 years7 of 7 customers found this review helpful




















I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, but especially those who are beginners that want a high-end sounding acoustic without paying a high-end price tag.
Beats my Martin D354 of 4 customers found this review helpful




















I was immediately struck by the sound and figured it must out of my price range.
To my surprise, he told a guy just traded it in and they were selling it for $80. I strummed it twice and said "Sold" Best sounding guitar I've ever owned and sounds and holds up better than my Martin D35 which sells for 6 times the price. Don't hesitate to buy this guitar.

S&P Songsmith3 of 4 customers found this review helpful




















My main concern this time was in finding the best sounding guitar I could for under 500 Canadian dollars and I feel like I've succeeded in spades.
This box has a nice tight crisp resonance with a delicate and musical high end as apposed to brittle and sharp like many new instruments can sound and feel.A little more low end would really compliment the overall sound but at this price I can't complain. The slender satin finished neck has a sensual feel to it being comfortably wide and easy to skip up and down. The 16' radius and medium sized fret wire show no signs of fret buzz (whereas the pricier Yamaha needed adjustment and was buzzing noticeably.) By the way the (S&P) frets could stand to be dressed but in this range it's rare to find a model with rounded off fret ends. Anyway I am very pleased with this purchase.As someone who has been playing for almost 5 decades I can honestly say I have never found a better deal,
and I am continually amazed at the quality of the instruments coming off the line now for relatively very low prices.

I have not put this guitar down since. Working on aging it now, for no other reason than to let the passion of the wood shine. Try this one out folks, you won't be dissappointed.

Best sounding...1 of 1 customers found this review helpful




















It is so clear and crisp without losing all the low end.
I was looking for a cheaper guitar because I did not want to take my $3000 Martin to the campfire…
Tried many guitars before trying this one. Wow is all I can say!!!
It also seems very durable for camping.
Give this one a try!!!
See Tom at L&M South Edmonton!!! Tell him Keith sent you!!!

Boy, did I not know how well they perform.
Sustain, tone, volume, dynamics, harmonics, tuning, action...this is my favorite acoustic guitar ever, hands down.

Songsmith Folk in black3 of 3 customers found this review helpful




















I'm absolutely floored at the sound that comes out of this little, plain looking guitar. This was definitely the sweetest one hanging on the wall that day at the Burlington L&M, but I must say I've been consistently impressed by these Godin/Simon & Patrick acoustics wherever I find them.
I initially picked an S&P off the wall just out of curiosity. I'm usually interested mainly in the Gibsons, Martins, Taylors, etc. When I first casually strummed this little guitar I was immediately impressed by the long sustain and the clarity of the notes. Then I noticed the beautiful balance between the lows, mids and highs, the way a single string would cause harmonics to bloom even when all other strings were muted. Intonation was remarkably accurate, workmanship flawless, the neck a pleasure to play. SOLD.
I'm going to keep cruising the S&P section in any music store that carries them until I find another one of these gems. And another, and another.

Amazing quality control1 of 1 customers found this review helpful

Solid spuce top, synthetic bone nut and saddle (when you get lower end guitars you often need to swap out their plastic nut and saddle, e.x. Yamahas) and the lacquer finish really let this guitar sing. The tone is so clear because of the thin finish. Looking forward to hearing how this guitar changes sound as it ages over time. The finish also allows for a very smooth neck.
You often can't find all these features at this price point. I'm guessing they can save costs because the woods are locally sourced and the guitars are made in the country. It also helps that the factory strings and the out-of-the-box setup are pretty decent.

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. Pricing for used electronic products is 4% of the original new selling price.
- 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.
Best one I've ever owned. The only thing is the Quantum pickups back then were terrible and 3 times had to be replaced under warranty ( very frustrating). I eventually bought an LR Baggs I Beam and installed it, best upgrade ever. This sweet sounding guitar is my last.
