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.

Key Features
The Fender Custom Shop 59 Heavy Relic Telecaster lets you relive the rock revolution with the instrument that kick started Fender's success. As a Custom Shop Heavy Relic this carefully crafted guitar bears all the experience and character of a Tele that's been loved, gigged and worn down over the decades, but with modern reliability. It's so accurate that you might not be able to tell the difference!
Equipped with custom wound '63 single coil pickups, there's a huge amount of tone at your disposal. Flowing with vintage voicings, these pickups instantly elicit the '50s twang and bring the era back to life. If that doesn't get you into the swing of things, then the gorgeously detailed rosewood fretboard will. Sleek, soft, and incredibly supple, this board has a superb depth of tone and swift action that only rosewood can achieve.
