The guitarguitar difference

guitarguitar believe our 3 year warranty is the most comprehensive instrument warranty available. There are no third party insurance agents involved and no complicated claim schemes; simply purchase anything new and we’ll look after you. guitarguitar is the first, and currently the only, guitar retailer in the UK to offer a 3 year warranty as standard.  We believe in the products we sell.

What does guitarguitar’s 3 Year Warranty cover?

The guitarguitar 3 year warranty covers qualifying new products against manufacturing defects and inherent faults. We will use our expertise, experience and our position as the UK’s biggest guitar retailer to make right or replace a product we have sold which isn’t doing what it should. 

Is anything not covered?

We are unable to cover consumables. This includes but is not limited to guitar strings, batteries, drum sticks, valves and other items which cannot be repaired or serviced and by design have a shorter lifespan. However, these will be covered by their standard manufacturers warranty. 

Guitarguitar’s 3 year warranty doesn’t cover wear and tear as a result of normal use, nor does it cover minor cosmetic defects which don’t impact on the use or playability of the product in question. This could include but is not limited to; scratches, dents, dings, scuffs, lacquer or finish blooms, superficial cracks or colours changing/ fading over time. 

Our warranty also doesn’t cover accidental or malicious damage, superficial or otherwise; we always recommend insuring anything of value through your contents insurance or other private insurance policy. We also can’t cover items which have been modified or altered from the manufacturer’s specifications.

Our staff are well trained in how to look after everything that we sell and are here to give you advice on how best to maintain your instrument or item. Simply get in touch with us online or visit your local store.

In addition- only the standard manufacturer’s warranty shall apply to goods bought for commercial use and any education or business to business sales.

What if my item cannot be repaired?

In the unlikely event that your product develops a fault which can’t be repaired within the warranty period, we’ll exchange it for a like for like replacement. If the product you ordered is no longer available, we’ll work with you to find you the closest alternative or equivalent.
