Long and Mcguade is a music store founded by Jack Long in Toronto in 1957.
Jack Long was a professional trumpet player who decided to sells instruments to his friends.
And it was his bussiness partner Jack Mcguade (who is a drummer)who gave lessons in the same building.
However their association last until 1965, but Jack Long kept the name and continue his musical bussiness and the rest made history as Canada's largest chain of music retailer.
What's good about this store is that not only they sells all the big brand like Fender, Gibson, Marshall, tama etc. They also take you old instruments and give you credit so you can buy better ones.
And unlike Steve's music the service is good you don't have to chase a salemen to try a gtr !
Recently i bought an amplifier from Laval store amplifier had doesnt work good, and they order another one from Markam store for me, and i was able to have it one week later like they said. So they try to satisfy their customers and with so many stores it's easier.
I think their next moves should be to open a big store neir dowtomn Montreal. As their ahuntsic store is very small. I think they prefer to have stores in suburb like Laval and Longueuil stores.
I recommand it if you want to change your guitar or bass for a better one you can exchange it and with extra cash acquire a better one. read more
