after checking out utube and reviews here i decided to rent one see whats what , well i would not get in step with it sounds better then my les paul tribute no no the warm blooming sound it produces were not obtainable for me in the neck pu the treble seemed a bit screechy, lacking the warmth of the 490's ... all in all a bump up from the gretch 5230t and VERY close to the gibson lot of bang for the buck here, nice features the ebony board easy to look at very nice

Packed with high end features, this beauty does not disappoint! Ebony on the board, VERY nice Koa top, mahogany body and full size CTS pots. The neck is not like the Gibson counterpart, it is its own interesting taper and very comfortable to play. The Tuners are 18:1 and smooth. Not overly heavy, very nice. However, it is the sound that impresses the most. This guitar really growls and snarls. I haven't had a guitar with ProBuckers before, and I have to say I like them a LOT! It easily keeps up with my Gibsons and is more comfortable. I would not hesitate to gig or record with this, it really is spectacular and punches way above its weight class.

I never give 5 star reviews for anything, ever, because there is always something that can be improved upon. On this guitar I cannot find anything that I don't like about it. Apart from how stunningly beautiful the Koa natural finish is it plays and sounds amazing. The probucker pickups have so much crunch and growl at high gain but still maintain clarity and tone and then you back it off and it cleans up so beautifully, each note on the fretboard is clearly heard. Tons of sustain as well. The only setup it required was a change of strings and small intonation adjustment on only a couple of the strings to get it perfect. Action and relief were already dialed in to exactly what my preference is, no string buzz and still easy to play. To compare, I have three Gibson Les Pauls, one is old enough that I would consider it vintage and it came from the late 80's era when Gibson was back to making really good guitars (after the Norlin era) and two Les Pauls that are more modern, within the last four years, all of which are a joy to play and have their own characteristics. This guitar sounds better...plainly said, hands down better. If you manage to acquire one you will not be disappointed unless there is something wrong with it, or with you LOL...

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.
