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.
This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 Standard features a striking Cobra Burst finish that brings a flash of modernity to a classic design. Other special features include a striped ebony bridge and fretboard and gold hardware for a more unique feature set. Gibson Custom Select instruments have unique features such as special finishes, hardware, and electronics that are hand-picked by Gibson's experts at the Custom Shop. These special guitars are made in small batches by skilled artisans in Bozeman, Montana.
The SJ-200™ has been hailed as "King of the Flat-Tops" since its introduction in the 1930s with its Super Jumbo body design and intricate inlays. Featuring a solid spruce top with solid figured maple back and sides, the SJ-200 is a unique instrument with its body shape and size along with the tonewood combination. Featuring a long scale length of 25.5 inches, the SJ-200 has a longer scale length than the smaller J-45. This longer scale length gives the guitar a striking attack with piano-like sustain that is not found on other Gibson acoustics apart from the Advanced Jumbo from the Historic Collection. The SJ-200 is a classic for a reason and has stood the test of time as the "King of the Flat-Tops."
This Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 Standard features a Cobra Burst finish, which is first applied as a stain with the burst sprayed to blend the edges of the body. This gives the spruce top a cross-hatching effect that can only be achieved by this pre-staining technique. AAA flamed maple back and sides are on display through the stained finish. Striped ebony takes the place of the normal rosewood on the bridge and fingerboard. This specification is normally found on guitars like the Western Classic and SJ-200 Custom. Graduated crown inlays made from mother-of-pearl adorn the entire striped ebony fretboard, with the end of the fretboard featuring the signature "birdsbeak" design that is also found on the SJ-200 Standard. Featuring western motifs to match the fretboard, the signature SJ-200 pickguard is etched and painted. Also crafted from striped ebony, the Moustache™ bridge features a 2-bar design inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Gold hardware is featured throughout the guitar with Grover® Rotomatic® Kidney tuners.
While the SJ-200 is typically found in traditional colors like Heritage Cherry Sunburst or Antique Natural, this Gibson Custom Select SJ-200 Standard features a modern Cobra Burst finish to bring some contemporary style to a classic model. Along with some other special details like the striped ebony bridge and fretboard and gold hardware, this guitar is set apart from a normal production model with standard specifications. Included with the guitar is a hardshell case and Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
