Long & McQuade Performance Assurance
Buying a new instrument is an exciting event and we want to ensure that every instrument we sell comes exactly how the manufacturer intended it to be. That is why Long & McQuade performs a quality control check for every stringed, brass, and woodwind instrument over $99 ordered online at Long-McQuade.com.
Our team of experienced staff will unbox your instrument and perform a detailed inspection to ensure it leaves our warehouse looking and playing great with our QC card signed and dated for your peace of mind.
We work hard to source the best instruments from around the world from the finest brands. It is important to us that you are completely satisfied with your new instrument purchase from day one onwards.
Stringed Instrument Performance Assurance Checklist
Unlike our free set-up, which is included within the first year of purchase, this process is done to have the instrument set to the factory specs rather than to each player's feel or preferences.
We look after the following:
- Inspect finish and hardware.
- Check electronics to make sure everything is in working order. Check batteries on active pickups.
- Inspect strings.
- Inspect frets and fretboard.
- Check truss rod. Adjust for bow and relief.
- Tune instrument to manufacturer's specified tuning.
- Check/set action height.
- Stretch strings and re-tune instrument and ensure machine heads are working well.
- Check for fret buzz by playing every note.
- Check/set intonation.
- Check/set pickup height.
- Cleaning and professional repacking.
Seven-string fans looking for a guitar that is as sleek and deadly as it is affordable will find everything they need with the JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS22-7 DKA HT.
This beastly axe features a 26.5" scale length for better low-end articulation, a lightweight and resonant poplar body with an arched top and a bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint for rock-solid stability. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and piranha tooth inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.
Powered by direct mount dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, the JS22-7 DKA HT is also equipped with a three-way blade switch, single volume and tone controls, compensated string-through-body fixed Jackson HT7 bridge, sealed die-cast tuners and our 3x4 (3 over, 4 under) AT-1 headstock.
The JS22-7 DKA HT is finished in a brooding Satin Black finish with all-black hardware.

Like many of the reviews here I’m going to rave about this guitar and for the price how impressive it is. But I bought this to mod entirely. First the tuners work but they are not the greatest quality but for this price range they are decent but I still plan to upgrade them to locking tuners. The pickups definitely do the trick. The cleans are surprisingly great honestly and I’m quite pleased with how the guitar sounded right out of the box but I still love my Seymour Duncan’s too much not to install a set. Maybe even upgrade the pots as well. But if you’re not crazy about modding guitars like I am this is a killer budget or first 7 string guitar. I love Jackson guitars for many reasons and this affordable beast is one of them.

All I got is the layman review here for ya. This is my first guitar bought ever so I don't know much about the difference between a 200 to 4000 dollar guitar, no idea. Trying to learn though.
It's really nice to have a lower string to get those really low, Mick Gordon-esque vibes off something that's usually in the 800+ dollar range.
I think Jackson will be my general go-to brand for guitars in the future!

My expectations were pretty tempered for this guitar, as I think yours should be. The standard "cheap guitar" issues are here; it flexes a bit more than I'd like, the first fret goes sharp a bit too easily, the tuners are *barely* usable and have a mile of backlash. There is some flub on the low end with the stock pickups, but lowering them a touch got a much more balanced sound that took to distortion well, as one would hope. It looks spartan; it *is* spartan.
But that said, it is *shockingly* usable. The fretboard is wide and comfy, fits nicely in my bassist hands. There is a bit of buzz taking that low B down to an A, but in the sort of context you play with Drop A in, you don't notice.
As has been previously mentioned; the price point here is just inexplicable. It's amazing how far manufacturing has come, and how much demand there is for extended range instruments, that you can get an instrument this decent for so cheap. It's even got a purpleheart fretboard and nitro finish! You struggle to get these things in instruments twice the cost!
If you can adjust to its eccentricities, and are okay with making some upgrades down the line, this is a brilliant option for people looking to get into extended range guitar.
(Replacement pickups and tuners will cost you almost as much as a second guitar, but it'll definitely perform like it costs twice as much, the fundamentals are that good.)

Nothing touches the JS22-7 in this price point. The neck is a real gem. The pickups are a little muddy but acceptable at this price. The biggest drawback is the tuners and nut, neither of which belong anywhere except a junk pile. The tuner and nut will get you through, but you eventually have to upgrade them. Otherwise it's an easy to play, great sounding 7 string. Be aware the satin finish will polish and wear quickly.

Considering that this guitar is only $250, the quality is unreal!
I was curious about getting into 7-string, so when I spotted this guitar and all its amazing reviews (not just on here but all over the internet) I just couldn't resist. I've only had it for a few days now but I'm so glad that I got it.
The guitar is lightweight but feels very well constructed. After a quick tune-up it actually played pretty great right out of the box. I've since lowered the action just a touch and now it feels even better. The pickups are definitely high output, and like a few others have mentioned they can be slightly muddy at times but they don't actually sound half-bad once you get them dialed in with some good EQ.

This guitar is excellent for anyone interested in getting into the 7 string world. Build quality is good overall, the only real issues I've had are the input jack nut not staying tight, and it could use some minor fretwork. The neck shape, body finish and hardware is all above average. It sounds great with both high and low gain, but clean is dull, I'd assume that most purchasers would not care too much about clean sound. Pick-ups could be easily upgraded anyway. I would highly recommend it, at this price point it is an excellent deal.

This guitar plays just as good as my 1000 dollar Jackson’s. Yes it doesn’t stay in tune the greatest but I haven’t put new strings on yet so it could just be the strings. Locking tuners are only about 100 bucks so get this and down the line get some locking tuners and this guitar kicks ass. But I mean from a guitar at this price point it has to be expected

Just bought this 7 string about a week ago and I can't put the thing down. It holds its tune pretty decent, the pickups are ok but I'll probably be upgrading them eventually but if you know how to dial in a tone you can still make them sound half decent. Its a whole lot of guitar for the price, I suggest picking one up if you want to dabble in some extended range guitars

Bought this about 2 months ago and I basically haven’t put it down. I purchased this to introduce myself to 7’s , never having owned one, And man am I supposed at the playability! The 26.5” neck makes for a good tone on the low A. I would definitely suggest picking up a new set of strings at the time of the purchase (10-52 + 64 works for me ) to increase the string gauges from stock. The neck sounds and feel really good for the price , but as you would expect the pickups could have a little more bit you can’t complain at this price point .... the upgraded pickups probably cost the same as the guitar ahaha

I rented this guitar for a month as I have never played 7 string before and I wanted to get the basics down before I bought one. What a MACHINE for the price point! I had my heart set on an Ibanez but this guitar will certainly have me considering a Jackson aswell. The neck is great, it plays very well (for my experience level) and honestly the pickups for a cheap guitar aren’t half bad either. I noticed the tone dial has almost no effect on the overall sound as the electronics are obviously cheap and it does need to be tuned quite often so those are really my only two complaints but again, it’s a 300$ guitar! I would highly recommend this guitar for anyone starting out on a seven string and not wanting to invest 2k right off the bat.

For the price, you really can not complain about this guitar. About no need to upgrade the pickups, regret it or anything like that. The only thing I would change are the machine heads because they're cheap and don't stay in tune. But its entry level so that's fine. Just put some Grocers on it.

Features - Average-plus. It has 7 strings, and everything else is pretty bare-bones, but it is exactly what it needs to be. Pickups are good, controls are simple. The carves in the body are really nice. Satin black body looks great. Neck has minimal finish and is very wide and flat, and it's a longer scale than your typical Fender or Gibson, which all adds to playability. I like the tiny "pirahna tooth" fret markers.
Quality: Average-plus, nothing flashy but it's all well put-together. Hardware is decent and doesn't feel cheap. Pickups are what some might consider "basic" but they are higher-than-average output and are more versatile than I was expecting. Nut is mediocre, but is totally fine for this price. Frets are okay, extra polishing wouldn't hurt.
Value - Outstanding. It feels, sounds and looks like a much more expensive guitar, and as one of the few 7-strings at this price level it is easily worth every penny.
Overall - Outstanding. Sounds amazing through a 5150 or Marshall - anything with heavy distortion. I have used it with metal amp simulation plugins in my DAW to get some really good "death metal" sounds. Clean it up a bit and roll the tone back and it makes for some killer "dark" blues, or go all the way in the opposite direction with some gnarly fuzz for some doom metal. I really like the sound of the middle switch position on a clean-ish channel, just on the edge of breakup, where it gives a really sweet Meters-like funk sound, which was not something I expected out of a guitar like this.

Ordered some tab books of a band that uses a 7 string, so on a whim I looked up what I could get for a "cheap" 7 string. Had one laid away immediately after I saw how cheap they go for. Played it all weekend and I am absolutely blown away at how good it feels. I also have and LTD Viper 1000, and this feels 90% as good as my Viper does to play. The one thing I will recommend is upgrading the strings (which I did and it now sounds awesome). The factory ones are too wimpy and sound kind of twangy.
If you're looking to dip your toes into 7 strings, you cannot pick a better guitar. Jackson's value for money is unparalleled.

I play a Gibson LP and an ESP LTD 8 string and bought this 7 string on a whim. I saw it in the store for $259.00 and laughed but the sales guy said " Try it"
It felt pretty good and the quality was a little better than I imagined. This is no Best Buy first act guitar. I have been wanting a 7 string and I saw some reviews for it and they were not half bad.
I bought the darn thing and brought it home and put a set of Daddario NYXL's on it and plugged it into my Axe Fx 2 and I was shocked at how good it sounds. The tone is quite good for a metal guitar. No need to change the pickups. the scale length is also nice. A little smaller than my 8 string but still long enough for drop tuning.
Now it is a cheap guitar and the tuners are pretty poor. 2 of them would not even turn all the way so I backed them off before winding the strings. There is likely debris in the gears from the manufacturing. The neck radius is also not what I am used to. It's quite flat and the nut is made from a very soft cheap plastic but that is easy enough to take care of.
The fret work is good and no sharp edges and no buzzing strings anywhere on the neck. It was set up pretty well too.
It's a nice looking guitar over all and feels good and is pretty light. They also threw in a free setup in the first year for signing up for the insider emails which is worth $75 alone.
I can not imagine getting better value for $260. I would have never thought I would buy such a cheap guitar but this is an alright guitar and plays perfectly and sounds amazing. I am having a hard time putting it down. I have been playing guitar for 40 years and I have never come across a guitar in this price range that I would consider buying but this one changed that.

I bought this entirely as a one trick pony, mostly to get my metal riffs on once in a while.
I own two EVH’s and a Charvel and have never played a 7 string until I bought this as a result of viewing a few YouTube videos.
Wow. Almost makes me question why I spend so much money on guitars when something like this exists for $259, although to be honest I basically use only the top 4 strings. I actually like the sound of the neck pickup, it exceeded expectations. Tuners were fine after I stretched the original strings. Nut is plastic and will eventually need to be replaced, no biggy.
Frets were fine, finish was fantastic.
Absolute fantastic value.

For what it is this is a phenomenal steal of a deal. Sure the pickups are lacking a bit of girth... but seriously for $250?!?! Even dropping another $300 on better pups... you're still under the entry level Ibanez... which also needs upgrades... the multi-radius fretboard and the borderline baritone scale length make it a comfortable platform to jump off into the realm of extended range.
My only gripe is the very estrogenic strings this beast ships with... no offense but 9's are way too light to even tune to drop A without getting extremely washed out tone. Grab a set of 10's at least if you buy.

Si tu cherches ta première guitare 7 cordes, c'est la bonne. Le prix est simplement inexplicable. j'ai essayé d'autres guitare 7 cordes d'entrée de gamme allant jusqu'à 600$ et cette guitare est LE meilleure choix, autant pour le prix, la qualité de construction et le son. Évidemment que ce n'est pas comme une guitare haut de gamme, mais tu feras un TRÈS BON bout de chemin avec cette machine de guerre. Personnellement j'ai mis des locking tuners et j'ai changé les pick-ups parce que je ne voulais pas changer de guitare.
Les pickups de base sont "Muddy", mais si t'es du genre à jouer avec une BOSS Metal Zone, tu ne verra AUCUNE différence avec une guitare plus dispendieuse. Le profile du neck est mince, la guitare est légère pis une guit noir mât avec des inlays en dents de requins de même c'est sexy.

Response from Long & McQuade
If you're looking for your first 7-string guitar, it's the right one. The price is simply inexplicable. I tried other guitar 7-string entry level up to $ 600 and this guitar is THE best choice, as much for the price, quality of construction and sound. Obviously it's not like a high-end guitar, but you'll do a VERY good end of the way with this war machine. Personally I put locking tuners and I changed the pick-ups because I did not want to change the guitar.
The basic pickups are "Muddy", but if you're like playing with a BOSS Metal Zone, you will NOT see any difference with a more expensive guitar. The profile of the neck is thin, the guitar is light and a black guitar mast with shark teeth inlays and it's sexy.

Guitare de base, micros et autres quincailleries sont rudimentaires... Donc, ne pas s'attendre à une guitare de qualité de $1000.00 et plus. Mais vous serez impressionné par la qualité de cette dernière. Je vous conseille pour l'essai d'une 7 cordes avant d'acheter un modèle haut de gamme!

This guitar is amazing for it's price!
it's got a dark menacing look with juicy curves , a nice sustain , with a lightweight body , a pretty slim and surprisingly flat rosewood fretboard.
The pickups do the job and sound a LITTLE bit muddy on record but depending on your settings/EQs/amps , the whole tone might change.
I'm still impressed by it. Every day , I get home from work @ 5:20pm and I stare at it for a while , wash my hands and jump on it. Every time I end up dropping it it's past 10:00pm.
Just give it a shot and ear it by yourselves!

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.
