I bought this guitar based on the reviews here and that it looks so stunning with the Bubinga wood. But after playing it, I love it more and more all the time. The strat neck makes it so easy to to move on the fretboard. Other guitar player friends of mine have tried this out, and I get alot of "Wow!" "What did you pay for this guitar"? '

I love this Sonoran. The Bubinga wood looks great. The sound is clear and bright and the Fishman on board amp really makes this guitar sound great through an amp. I've had it for 1 month now and ply it every day. The neck feels good and easy to chord. This is a Fender best kept secret.

Based on the reviews here I gave this one a try. An Ovation at a similar price point was more comfortable for me (that nice curved back) but not as loud/clear sounding. This one sounds loud and crisp. The built-in tuner is handy. I got one "out of the box" and the action was completely messed up. I returned it and took the display one instead. The only issue is a small oval area on the bottom of the bubinga that seems to have avoided being stained, just a minor aesthetic blemish.

This guitar obviously flew under a lot of peoples radar, me included. Extremely happy I scooped one up while they were available. Beautiful bright tone with or w/o amp.

Bought this guitar as a kick around guitar. But it's soon become my favorite guitar, won't be kicking around this guitar! Exellent bright sound without the amp, with the amp even better. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone.

I finally received my Sonoran after a month plus wait...It was worth the wait! I ordered this sight unseen and was a little worried about how it would play as I have not liked some of Fenders other acoustic guitars but thankfully this guitar is in a class of it's own! Great action on the neck and super bright sound with the Bubinga body! And the look is wicked! The Fishman system sounds excellent pugged in to my amp and the tuner is exact.I have had many other guitarists give it a go and it's unanimous! I would recommend this anyone but you better hurry, it's a limited edition with the Bubinga body! Most of the players that tried it were thinking it was as good if not better than many of the $1000.00 + guitars out there.

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.
