It took quite a while to understand all the different tones of this guitar. I find that I use the tone control a lot. I usually dial it to 5 on the bridge pickup and max 10 treble on everything else. It's power really comes through with the volume past 7. It's exhilarating the fullness of the growl it can get. At first I thought the strings were a little high and taut so I dialed the treble strings side adjusting screw on the bridge all the way down and raised the bass side up from bottom just enough till there was no fret buzzing. It plays like a dream now and the skewed bridge takes away a lot of the buzz on the bridge past the 12th fret. It's also got really good sustain. You need to know how to adjust the floating tremolo properly for its real value to show through. All in all this is one decent high quality instrument.

Sounds like a million bucks in a room, especially through a cranked open back combo amp. I have found however, it leaves a lot to be desired when looking for a clean sound close mic'd . It always has a touch of breakup to it. Really well built guitar, and the trem sounds are to die for. For the price I wish it came with a case.

I purchased this guitar a few months back from the Alta Vista location here in Ottawa. The best feature is by far the sound/pickups. The bridge position allows you to obtain wiry, hot Strat tones, while the neck shifts into warmer, beefier Les Paul tones. On clean the pickups are very chimey. It's a really unique sound.This is the only guitar I've owned where I can say the middle position is tonally useful. The only downside I can think of is that you may have to get used to changing strings with the vintage tuners, but once you get over that changing strings becomes much quicker and easier.. Also, the neck tends to be quite heavy compared to how light the body is...especially comparison to how evenly distributed the weight of a Strat is. I paid $1200 after tax for this one which I find to be a little steep. That's the only thing holding back the value of this particular instrument.

I enjoy the guitar immensely and it has an incredible range of tones. I didn't like the bridge and did replace with a roller. Finish was great, did think fret work could of been a little cleaner. I would definitely tell you to take her for a ride at your local store, you'll be surprised.

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.
