GRETSCH
1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
FMIC warrants this Gretsch guitar to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship
for one (1) year from the date of original
purchase, subject to the limitations set forth
herein. This warranty applies only to the
original retail purchaser when this instrument
is purchased from an authorized Gretsch
dealer, and requires the purchaser to supply
a copy of the original proof of purchase
(original sales receipt with the instrument
serial number and his/her name indicated as
the purchaser, thereon) at the time service is
requested.
Repair service of defects covered by this
warranty can be performed only at an FMIC
Authorized Warranty Service Center, as
designated by FMIC. Remedies beyond
normal service repair of any Gretsch guitar
require both an evaluation of the defect and
a direct recommendation from an FMIC
authorized service center for alternative
considerations. A network of authorized
service centers is available for warranty
service. Your Gretsch dealer may also be
authorized for warranty service and should be
the first point of contact when service of any
kind is required for your Gretsch guitar.
All transportation, insurance and freight
charges associated with warranty service
and repairs on Gretsch guitars are the
responsibility of the purchaser, as is
any service initiated for the purpose of
customizing adjustments beyond factory
specifications. Initial standard setup
and adjustment of the instrument and its
components at the time of purchase are
considered normal dealer preparation.
