However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

From bright and cutting voicings to something warm and mellow, the Fender Custom Shop '67 offers the versatility needed to achieve any desired harmonic.
Your playing experience is at the forefront of Journeyman Relic. Its smooth, elegant contours of the alder body and quartersawn maple neck, combined with a '65 C shape neck profile and twenty-one jumbo frets, provide superior comfort that caters to guitarists of all skill levels. And with an AAA rosewood fingerboard, you are guaranteed a smooth experience with its effortless glide, while the mother-of-pearl inlays add a distinct visual appeal.
Topping off this guitar is a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and relic treatment, which lend the guitar its distinct aged appearance and superior tone quality. The guitar's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every element of its design, from the wiring of the pickups to the placement of the controls. An unparalleled playing experience that is unmatched by its competitors.
High-quality hardware works together to enhance this Custom Shop's sound and playability. The vintage-style Stratocaster bridge boasts six individually adjustable saddles that provide string stability and precise intonation adjustments. And with the upgraded '60s relic tremolo arm, you are provided with smooth, effortless, and unique vibrato and pitch effects. What's more, its vintage-style tuners not only add a classic look but also ensure accurate tuning. With a '68 Strat HSS shell nitro relic pickguard, this guitar offers a distinct visual appeal while also protecting the body from potential damage. Each element of the hardware has been thoughtfully chosen and designed to ensure that the Strat Journeyman Relic not only looks great but also performs exceptionally well.
The relic finish on the Fender Custom Shop '67 is a defining feature that sets it apart from other guitars. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar a distinct vintage appearance that looks well-worn and aged. This treatment further adds to the unique character by simulating years of use, complete with scratches, dents, and wear marks. Each guitar has its own unique relic pattern, making each one truly one-of-a-kind.
Not only does this enhance the visual appeal but can also affect its sound. This treatment can make the wood more resonant, which can improve the overall tone of the guitar. The process of aging the guitar also removes some of the stiffness in the wood, which can make it easier to play. An aesthetically appealing model, perfect choice for guitarists who are looking for a vintage-inspired instrument with modern features and superior quality.
