In addition to the benefits of the Performance Warranty,
we offer one complimentary setup with the purchase of a new or used guitar,
to be redeemed at any Long & McQuade location within the initial free-warranty period
(1-year on new, 90-days on used).
This Includes:
Restring (Strings not included).
Tighten and lubricate all hardware.
Clean and test electronics.
Replace battery if needed (Battery not included).
Adjust or rehang loose wiring.
Clean and condition the fingerboard.
Fret polish to remove minor scratches, pits and corrosion.
Cleaning of the entire instrument.
Adjust truss-rod to correct neck relief.
Adjust saddle radius to match fingerboard.
Adjust action at bridge.
File nut slots for proper string movement.
Adjust intonation.
Adjust tremolo bridge setting to player's preference.
Add/remove trem-springs as needed (Parts not included).
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.
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.
Rule the stage with the Stadium HT! This modern single-cut axe sets itself apart with looks and features that call out to the true musician in all of us. Take hold of the silky feel of the Stadium HT Hard Rock Maple Neck and see how quickly your fingers start doing the talking with inspired licks and riffs. The super light Canadian Laurentian Basswood string-through body is balanced, expressive, and smoothly finished. Speaking of finish, each Stadium HT has a unique acoustic-inspired finish that gives the body a vintage look and feel, all the while allowing it to breathe and resonate more freely, and genuinely age and wear as you play for it that weathered look, like that comfy old pair of jeans. Great sustain and tone come standard with the Custom T-Ashtray Hardtail Bridge complete with brass saddles, and notes are expressive via the Custom Godin Cajun at the bridge and Godin GS-3 at the neck. Adding to the vintage vibe with a modern twist is the reinvented vintage-style control plate, complete with Volume, Tone, and slanted 3-Way Switch - aligned with the natural sweep of your right hand for easy pickup selection. The Stadium HT comes in 3 awe-inspiring finishes: Trans White, Matte Black, and Havana Brown.

Au niveau qualité/prix si tu recherche une guitare de style télécaster, tu viens de trouver la bonne guitare.
Un prix abordable, bien meilleur que n’importe quelle Squier dans cette game de prix. Et encore mieux qu’une Fender made in Mexico.

I have to say that this has become my favorite guitar. Quality is by far better than any U.S.A. or MIM tele I have ever tried. Perfect set up right out of the box. Plays like a dream.

The Stadium HT is an amazing value. The neck is one of the most comfortable I've ever felt, and on par with guitars made in USA. The body cutouts are great for those who want a T style guitar with some modern compromises. The pickups arent the greatest, but they are perfectly good and worth the value of the guitar. The other hardware is top notch, so it really isnt difficult to buy this and still feel like you saved a grand. It has quickly become one of my favorites in terms of playability.

This is an awesome T-style guitar. I’ve got an ‘85 Tele Thinline with Humbuckers and I always wanted a Tele with single coils. This Godin plays beautifully and the neck is fantastic. I’m not 100% sold on the pickups. They’re good, they’re very good but it’s hard to bring out any low end. The bridge pickup is great for chicken picking and C&W and the neck is great for everything. I guess the idea is that they’re supposed to be different from a Fender but there’s about 10% of me that finds them to be a little too sharp. I don’t think I would go to the trouble of changing them unless I come across an absolutely great option. The guitar weighs about 7 lbs and is nicely balanced. I’ve had it for about 5 months and it’s been my go-to guitar from the time I brought it home.

Closest Store Summerside, Prince Edward Island
We moved to PEI just before COVID hit and I haven't been able to get back to the states to bring my guitars to Canada. I have just about given up on getting back to get my Gibson LP Custom or Squier Tele, so I thought I'd go to my local L&M and see what they had on the rack. A rocker can only go so long without an electric guitar at hand. The brown Stadium HT immediately caught my eye. I played it... I played a Fender Player Tele... I played the Stadium HT again... The Stadium HT blew me away. I couldn't get over the obvious attention to detail on the HT. The frets are perfect. The control knobs and switch are silent. The body and neck are flawless and extremely comfortable to my arthritic hands. The tuners stay tuned (I can't believe how well the guitar stays tuned). The sound is unique, but can be adjusted to sound just like a Tele. I could not believe I'd never played a Godin before. Godin's are excellent guitars, built by excellent people. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

This is a really well made guitar, comparable to an entry level American Fender for half the price. What I love: the neck is very smooth and the frets are nicely rounded. Comparing it to mexican fenders where the neck can feel rough when bending strings, its a major improvement. The pots are nice and the guitar holds tune very well. What i dont love: the input jack placement is a bit awkward. Its easier to plug in but if youre on stage and walking around, it looks weird. I also think the pickups are a bit too trebly for my taste, but thats subjective. I also dont love texas specials and they are a favourite of many. Overall this is a very good guitar that can compete with american fenders but is priced for less than the mexican player series. Highly recommend

This is a beautiful guitar. For me, it's an upgrade from a Squier Tele. The action was bang on straight out of the bag. All the hardware is top notch. Tone goes from bassy to crystal with no jumps. That small angle on the pick up switch does make it easier. There are no hick ups on the tuning pegs. Neck is very comfortable and smooth. No protruding frets. Feels super comfortable standing and sitting. Lightweight even. The biggest problem with the Squier was the neck pick up. It is muddy. This Cajun PU's are pure joy. The neck sound is smooth and classy. Bridge is crisp and clean. I am not an impulse buyer. Been looking to replace my starter Tele for about a year. This Godin fit all my boxes. I've had it for a month and cannot put it down. Absolute gem.

It's got that new car smell. The neck and fretboard feel smooth and comfortable. It stays in tune well and the pickups sound nice and bright. The neck pickup in particular has a unique character.
I do wish the cutaway was a little deeper. It's a bit hard to reach the high notes.

This is a beautiful guitar, comfortable, well built, sounds great. Excellent value for the price. Thumbs down to North Bay L&M and Purolator. They didn't request a signature and I came home to find this guitar delivered laying on the sidewalk in a blizzard (along with a gamechanger plasma pedal from L&M websales). It made me pretty sad, but now I know the guitar is solid if it made it through that lol.

Most impressed with the overall quality and build of this guitar. It compares very favourable to the standard Telecaster and in my experience is a better made guitar. The pickups sound good, nothing exceptional but certainly pleasant. Body and neck are wonderfully finished. Holds tune very well.

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.
