FENDER®
ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENT
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warrants this Fender brand instrument to be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for as long as it is owned by the original
retail purchaser, except that pickups, switches, jacks, controls, all other electronic
components, tuning machines, hardware, pickguards, plated surfaces, gig bags, cases and
case hardware are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of original
purchase. This warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser when this
instrument is purchased from an Authorized Fender Dealer and is subject to the
limitations set forth herein. IMPORTANT: PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL
SALES RECEIPT, AS IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE VALIDATING THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY.
Fender has established a network of independent Authorized Fender Service Centers for
warranty service. The Fender Dealer from whom you purchased your instrument may
also be authorized for warranty service and should be the first point of contact when
service of any kind is required for your Fender instrument. To receive warranty service,
return the complete instrument to an Authorized Fender Service Center, with your sales
receipt as proof of purchase, during the applicable warranty period. Defective
components that qualify for coverage under this warranty will be repaired or replaced (at
Fender's discretion) without charge. Remedies beyond normal service repair of any Fender
instrument require both an evaluation and confirmation of the defect and a direct
recommendation to Fender from an Authorized Fender Service Center for alternative
considerations.
All transportation, insurance and freight charges associated with warranty service and
repairs on Fender instruments are the responsibility of the purchaser, as is any service
initiated for the purpose of customizing setups or adjustments beyond factory
specifications. Initial standard setup and adjustment of the instrument and its
components at the time of purchase are considered normal Dealer product preparation,
and are not covered by this warranty.
