I own several Gibson Les Paul guitars. I've only had this one for about 6 months but it has become my 'go to guitar' for gigs and jams. It stays in tune, sounds awesome, plays like butter and looks great - all for a fraction of what a standard costs. Great craftsmanship. Not sure, but it doesn't look like this will be a model available in the new Gibson line up so get 'em while you can.

I never thought I would be able to own a real Gibson. I gave my Epiphone Les Paul Standard to my son, as this one is three times the Guitar in every aspect. The crew at Long and Maquade were impeccable and service was a ten. Super thanks to Dean Moore Guitar Manager for all his knowledge, and understanding of guitars and guitar players. I still can't believe I finally own a real Gibson and I am hearing, feeling, and understanding why more and more why they are so popular. Luv It Luv It

I've owned this for only a short time and I am extremely impressed by what I've gotten for what I paid. The build quality is excellent. What makes this so affordable is it just doesn't have any of the additional elements that make the guitar more pretty AND more expensive; like mother of pearl trapezoid inlays on the fretboard, binding along the fretboard and guitar body, or prettier volume and tone control knobs, basic finish, the input jack plate is plastic for instance...the Les Paul logo is painted on the headstock...etc.. Everything is very basic, no bling at all, but that does not take away from how it sounds and plays. It is still made from very high quality materials and playing it proves it. All that extra stuff takes time and time costs money...so, build me a basic guitar that checks all the essential boxes and I wil buy it any day. Plus I think it looks killer as is... Mine was the in store model and tt needed a bit of setup once I got it home, most importantly intonation. The bridge height was right and so was the neck relief so the string height was as it should have been right from factory. I found the neck pickup itself and the adjustable poles on it to be too high. It would get a big boost in output switching from bridge to neck position so I lowered both of those as well to even it out, but that's something a little more personal and may not be something someone else would consider. The case is that comes with it is well made with a lot of padding and I would go so far as to call it a gig bag. It has an MSRP of $170 CDN so subtract that from the overall price of the guitar and it's an even better deal for what you are actually paying for the guitar itself. I've alsoo owned a Les Paul standard for many years and this guitar stands up to it. There are a few things that make the LP Standard better as far as playing but for an "entry level" guitar I don't think you could get much better. I've seen thousand dollar strats and many other guitars that were utter garbage, and not made in the USA. For anyone out there looking to get a very good guitar under $1000 this is it. Go get one.

I own this guitar for a few months now and my experience has been very positive. As an entry level Gibson guitar, I am more than pleased with the quality, sound and attention to details from Gibson. After trying out a few different guitar models and makers, I choose this model from a student point of view (model fits my skill and budget). Cheers.

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.
