I have had mine for about 10 years now SG-400 Cherry and it has held its own, I have since bought other guitars and my SG still gets play time (as well as some minor recording time). The only complaint that I have about this guitar are ones that you can see and touch. Its head heavy and its only got 22 frets. On the heavy side of things if you are courageous enough to move the strap location then it might be perfect, but you can't add frets. By no means am I hard on my cables and jacks but I have had to bust out my wrench and tighten up the bolts once or twice but all in all a solid guitar. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone who wants an upgrade from those Fender starter kits but doesn't want to throw down $600/700+ for a higher Epiphone or other guitar.

I have a feeling I will be player he a lot. She is a beauty and feels so versatile. It is neck heavy but one you get into the groove it feels great. I'm happy I finally have an SG. Don't expect the same quality of paint finish as on a Gibson SG. So what...This guitar ROCKS!

This guitar feels awesome. The action is superb, and the feel on the neck and fretboard is outstanding. I was quite surprised at the high quality, being made in China and all, but the Gibson quality is there, without the price tag to match. Excellent value. Glad I picked this one up.

I play mostly slide (Blues/Southern Rock) and this guitar is perfect for this type of music and playing. I also own a Gibson Firebird, Warmouth Custom Les Paul and Epiphone Wildkat, all much more expensive guitars and this SG is right up there in all area's.

I got this guitar yesterday. The very first time I played it was in the store and it sounded very good. It has a very close sound to a real Gibson SG. I noticed when I was playing "Heartbreaker" by Led Zeppelin, the guitar had a very clean sound, almost like Page's Les Paul. The person working there asked me if thats the guitar I would like to buy, and I said "for sure!"

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: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 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.
