I bought the Pearl White Pacer from my local store in March of 2022, and I am extremely happy with my purchase so far. The Floyd Rose stays in tune even with heavy use of the bar, and the neck feels great for playing fast. The electronics are simple and it's easy to dial in a great tone. The coil tapping option is very nice. The pickups sound fantastic in both live and recording settings. I didn't find the body to be all that heavy; I have a BC Rich Warlock that is much heaver for example. The white finish has a sparkle to it that you can see when you are up close. This is a very uncomplicated guitar that looks and sounds great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to get your Van Halen or George Lynch vibes going.

As a hair metal guy that likes 70s rock before the hair and the grunge of the 90s after the hair, I must say despite how crazy the 80s was and how mundane it became, there were still phenomenal players and the guitars they played filled the obvious void that traditional guitars had. As far as the guitars of the period being ESP, Charvel and Jackson and Ed Van Halen creating the need for floating tremolo systems, hotter pickups etc, Kramer led the torch for the last half of the 80s. I am pleased Gibson reignited the brand with its classic series.
I bought the Pacer Vintage as it was called a few years ago. Its not white but Bengal Tiger finish which is very hard to find in Canada. The specs are the same as the white one. The pickups sound great being Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and Jazz for the neck. The only negatives are the body being made from maple. Its HEAVY. Its unusual vs basswood or alder or even ash however the original Pacers were made from maple. The neck does have a thick layer of finish and usually I like a thinner layer as it just doesn\'t feel like wood but plastic. The quality vs an original from the 80s I\'d say is 75% there though. The new ones are Indonesian made vs the US ones. However, the US ones from the 80s were made of Japanese/Korean parts then the guitars were assembled and finished in New Jersey. One really can\'t say those were superior to the newer ones.Most of the 80s guitar makers weren\'t exactly Gibson or fender quality. Lastly the Floyd Rose is not an official Floyd Rose but still pretty stiff, not flimsy and with some adjustment and proper tuning it does stay in tune.
If you like 80s players like I do, I have a first run Ibanez JS Series from 1989, a Jem Floral from 88 and a Floral 2 from 2010. Amazing guitars but nothing beats a Bengal Tiger Pacer when one stands in front of a mirror trying to be George Lynch of Dokken, or Satchel of Steel Panther. This guitar is my fave from Kramer\'s new Classic Series.

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.
