I have owned some top guitars over my 63 years and never had an sg. My wife bought me the gibson sg tribute in walnut and i enjoyed it so i decided to quickly upgrade to the 2017 custom ebony. I tried out a used one and a new one before pulling the trigger on the new one. The neck is very nice and at 7 pounds its noticeably heavier than the tribute model. Much thicker body. Slight neck dive which i neutralized with weights in the electronics cavity. Its super overkill for my skill level but it has inspired me to learn some new songs and really try to improve. Some gibson aficionados would gasp as it doesn't have an ebony fretboard and is richlite. All i know is it's the nicest neck i have played yet. A big thanks to Gord and Harrison at L+M for helping make this happen after bugging you guys for weeks! Lol

What can I say? An SG custom speaks for itself. Unboxing it was a dream come true, and when I Plugged it into my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV amp it really came alive. Very sleek, very stylish, with a neck that makes playing it as smooth as butter. All the best gear and hardware, and it came in a very cool black Gibson case with whine red plush inlay and "Gibson Custom" in gold on the exterior. Which was great, even though the page doesn't mention anywhere that it comes with a case, and I went ahead and bought a brand new Gibson case for just under 400$. So thats something you won't have to worry about. And you can only get the Gibson "Custom" case when you buy a custom, so it makes it even more rare and valuable. All in all, with only 300 made, this is definitely the best guitar I've ever owned bar none. You will be happy with this SG and its case. LoL As far as I'm concerned, this guitar comes second guess free.

I always dreamed of owning a custom shop Gibson model and I've always been an SG fan, so this guitar was a "must have" when it was first announced by Gibson. I love the pseudo "Black Beauty" styling as opposed to the more typical three pick-up variants in white. Of course, the price point on this guitar compared to other custom shop models was also much better. I did swap the pick-ups because I'm a Seymour Duncan guy and the 498T is a little hot for my tastes but that's just personal preference. I love that it's just the standard two pick-up, two tone, two volume set-up - simple and effective. It's all I need. I took off half a point for quality because I don't think it was unreasonable to expect a custom shop model to not require a truss rod adjustment out of the box but it did. Luckily my local L&M made it right immediately and it has not needed any attention since. Perfectly straight neck, great action. Value - it's hard to truly rate. Yes, it's still expensive and yes there are excellent, cheaper SG alternatives out there. However, for me it was well worth it. It looks beautiful (the curvature on the horns is dynamite) and it plays like butter. I couldn't be happier.

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.
