Guitar How-To

Your guitar warranty covers faults in the manufacture. If you are having trouble playing a new guitar because of the action, for instance, it’s doubtful you can return it under warranty. This is why inexperienced guitar players are advised to take someone who knows about guitars with them when they buy their first instrument.

Any damage you inflict on your guitar is also unlikely to be covered by the warranty unless you can convince the seller that you were not careless in handling it. Read your warranty carefully if you live in an area where extreme temperatures occur because you might find that cracking due to dryness in the air or damage from extreme cold are excluded.

Basically, your warranty covers poor workmanship on the part of the manufacturer of your guitar. Or if the materials the guitar is made of are substandard. When you but an acoustic guitar that has a pickup built in, you need to be sure that the electronic bits are covered by the guitar’s warranty or if they are covered by their own separate agreement.
