Bought an Epi Korina V on a whim, love the guitar! never expected to like a V so much. So I bought an Epi Prophecy V. Wow, what a messed up guitar, roller coaster frets, nut isn't even straight. Took a fret level and reset of the nut to turn it in to a nice player. So I was a bit worried about the Epi Korina V. Good news is, it's freakin awesome like the Korina V! I love how nice these Epi Korina's are, I'm tempted to buy another one just because. 😆 Also have an Epi SG I love and an Epi 335. It's just the prophecy V that needed a lot of work. Also own Gibson and Fender, all great guitars.

This guitar is amazing. The tone is amazing. And it plays and sounds like a much more expensive guitar. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Great value with great sound.

I BOUGHT THIS GUITAR YESTERDAY AT LONG AND MCQUADE (RATHBURN). AT FIRST, I DIDN?T KNOW IF I WANTED THE EXPLORER OR THE FLYING V. SOMEHOW, I CHOSE THE EXPLORER AND I?M GLAD I DID!! THIS GUITAR HAS A GREAT TONE AND THE SOUND IS SO VERSATILE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION, GET THE EXPLORER. THE STAFF AT LONG AND MCQUADE TOLD ME THAT THEY?VE STOPPED MAKING THEM. THIS GUITAR BRIGHTENS MY COLLECTION OF AMAZING GUITARS ????!!!

My son bought this in Calgary, the retail tag was $699, not $769. I'm so happy he bought the instrument because I love it. At that price point, I believe it's a great value with wonderful sound and playability. I really am glad my kids play the guitar!!!

I've owned Les Pauls, V's, etc. since the 70's. Must say I am very impressed with this guitar. Awesome action for leads that sound all the way from full to crying. I have tried other Epi's but this is 2 levels above most including the Black Beauty. Not saying it out performs Gibson's but it sure comes close. Pickups would need to be replaced for the hardcore but for me they scream to my liking. If your budget sucks then check this baby out.

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.
