Yes it's on the pricey side which is to be expected with the flagship guitar in the fender american series. But it's true when they say you get what you pay for. Idk what was hotter.... the guitar at first glance, or the manager that sold it to me LOL On a serious note, I have 0 complaints at all. From how perfect it came out of the factory, to how nicely it chugs with the bridge humbucker (especially with the RAT 2 pedal), how beautiful the clean tones are in the middle and neck position. How light and comfortable it feels to hold, how smooth and effortless the necks on the ultras are... the S1 switch allowing the humbucker to be split up into a single coil. I really don't know what more I could ask. Maybe SS frets? Which I wish was given considering the price tag. But it's ok, because for the price jump you would pay to get SS frets and a floyd rose bridge with the luxe, you can spend in the future whenever the guitar needs a re-fret, and just go the SS route when that time comes. Overall, this guitar is 100% going to be my main gigging instrument, it replaced 2 guitars in my guitarsenal.

As a Gibson player I am hard on Fenders given some of the experiences I have had with models I owned before. This one is the exception, it plays amazing, the neck allows you to glide up with ease. The Fender American Ultra is the only Strat I own, and the only one should own

Luckily, one of these just happened to make it across the border a few weeks ago (early April, 2021) from Corona, Calif., and into the Bloor store for only about a day before I spotted it, and ordered it the next day, upon which they transferred it to the Mississauga L&M. I did a little tweaking (which I normally have to do with brand new guitars, adjusting truss rod, saddle height, etc.), but the most substantial change was when I got rid of the Fender strings, and switched to a set of the beautifully 'bendy' 'Ernie Ball'! Then this guitar suddenly turned into a beast! There are just too many great things about this guitar to fit into this review, so I would suggest checking YouTube and other online reviews for more info. Since it takes awhile for them to get here, you might want to consider ordering one now. Perhaps the best guitar I've ever owned!

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.
