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.

Q & A
Reviews
Oh man… where to start? This is one of the best guitars I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned many over the years. Don’t make the mistake I made. Don’t buy a guitar because of its looks. You may be terribly disappointed down the line. In 2008, I purchased a brand new Les Paul Standard 50s. It was very pretty, but during the 12 years of owning it, I never connected with it. I did not like its sound; it was pretty dark and dull sounding. In addition, I could not stand its sticky glossy nitro finish. As a result, it spent a lot more time in its case than any of my other guitars. I finally gave up and sold it concluding that the Gibson Les Paul was not for me, even though I’ve always loved its design. Then I found this 2022 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded 60s. I was not attracted to it initially, but a few minutes of playing convinced me. These 60s Burstbucker pickups sound amazing; I now understand what people mean when they say a Les Paul is like a Telecaster on steroids; whether you are on the neck or bridge pickup, or both, it sounds fantastic and has lots of power which can be tamed by simply using the volume and/or tone knobs. And this satin neck! Wow! Such a pleasure to play. I think every Gibson guitars should be offered with a satin neck option. So anyway, do yourself a favor, play the guitars before buying and trust your ears and your fingers, not your eyes. As far as I am concerned, I finally found the guitar I had been looking for.
Oh man… par où commencer? Cette guitare est l'une des meilleures que j'ai eues, et j'en ai eu plusieurs au fil des ans. Ne faites pas la même erreur que moi. N'achetez pas une guitare pour son apparence. Vous pourriez être terriblement déçu. En 2008, j'ai acheté une Les Paul Standard 50s toute neuve. Elle était magnifique, mais pendant nos 12 années de « vie commune », je ne m'y suis jamais attaché. Je n'en aimais pas le son qui était plutôt sombre et terne. De plus, son fini nitro brillant, qui était demeuré collant pendant tout ce temps, me déplaisait énormément. Elle a donc passé beaucoup plus de temps dans son étui que n'importe laquelle de mes autres guitares. J'ai finalement abandonné et je l'ai vendue en pensant que la Gibson Les Paul n'était pas pour moi, même si j'ai toujours aimé son design. Puis j'ai trouvé cette Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded 60s en 2022. Elle ne n'a pas attiré au début, mais un essai de quelques minutes m'a convaincu. Ces micros « 60s Burstbucker » sont excellents; je comprends maintenant la signification de l'expression « une Les Paul est comme une Telecaster sous stéroïdes »; que vous utilisiez le micro du manche ou du chevalet, ou les deux, cette guitare a un son extraordinaire et offre beaucoup de puissance qui peut être contrôlée en utilisant simplement les boutons de volume et/ou de tonalité. Et ce manche fini satin! C’est tellement agréable à jouer. Personnellement, je pense que toutes les guitares Gibson devraient être offertes avec un manche fini satin, en option. Pour conclure, n'hésitez pas à essayer plusieurs guitares avant d'acheter, et faites confiance à vos oreilles et à vos doigts, non à vos yeux. En ce qui me concerne, j’ai enfin trouvé la guitare que je cherchais.
Well, this one is a LOT more. I don’t think I could justify the Custom Shop jump vs this new 60s Standard, especially with the faded nitro finish. No lightening - this guitar is HEAVY and it feels great. The neck is classic 60s, and with the satin finish, is like an old friend.
Pickups are in the “hot zone”, especially with the body - sustain is beautiful. It looks pretty, and has a dark side of evil that I love.
Bonuses: case candy includes the ‘baby photo’ on the bench; booklet; a pickguard if you want that look (I prefer none); and a first that I’ve seen, a super cool Gibson branded multi-tool (sort of like a compact cycling tool, with fold out allen keys, drivers, socket end - very handy!).
Gibson is BACK. Make no mistake about it.
Only thing I’m changing are the strings from 9-42 to heavier 10-46. This one’s a keeper.

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.
