RETAIN YOUR
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 Guild 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 Guild
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.

1.
Fret wear, saddle wear, nut wear, strings and
batteries.

Setups, adjustments or routine maintenance of
any kind.

vinyl, plastic, rubber or other synthetic materials,
any other chemicals or non-Fender-approved
