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.

It's a product of decades of relentless pursuit of perfection, reflecting an unwavering commitment to quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Its pedigree is unmistakable; it bears the hallmarks of an instrument that stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of playability, design, and component selection.
Relive the golden era of rock 'n' roll. Equipped with three Fat '60s pickups, it perfectly captures the iconic sound of the period, with a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern innovation. Each pickup is custom-wound to ensure a unique sonic character, delivering clarity, power, and punch note after note. Delve into the iconic Strat's snap and bite.
Even though they sound vintage, this trio of pickups are still swimming in modern innovation, perfect for the demands of today's guitarists. The middle pickup is reverse-wound which means it alleviates any unwanted hum, so you'll only have pure, immaculate sonic greatness soaring from the speakers.
The Heavy Relic finish on 62 Stratocaster is an authentic tribute to the '60s, exuding vintage charm and timeless appeal. The alder body, ideal for blues and rock styles, complements the '60s-style oval "C" neck, offering a playing experience reminiscent of the era's ground-breaking guitars.
There's nothing quite like having a Custom Shop neck in your hands, knowing it is one of the finest you will ever lay fingers on. The quartersawn maple neck, meticulously crafted with the finest attention to detail, promises smooth fret transitions, a comfortable grip, and bright resonance. As the maple neck sits comfortably in your hand, a ravishing rosewood fretboard - adorned with 21 narrow tall frets - will allow for smooth and seamless fretting. This means you can focus on the things that matter most - your jaw-dropping playing and blinding performance. You'll be able to express yourself clearly and with complete accuracy all along the fretboard, and your licks will glimmer with character.
Featuring a Custom Shop quality Maple neck with a AAA Rosewood fingerboard and a 9.50" radius, this guitar boasts best-in-class playability. The neck has a custom 60's-style oval "C" shape with a small headstock and vintage-style tuning keys. Narrow tall fret wire and 21-fret design make the instrument easy to play and capable of delivering wickedly fast riffs and complex chord progressions. It also comes with a bone nut for a classic, authentic sound that's perfect for any genre.
Every component of the guitar is carefully selected and installed for optimal performance and reliability. The Vintage Strat bridge ensures superb tuning stability, while the vintage-style tuners provide excellent string support. The 5-way selector switch and vintage-style control assembly allow for precise and easy sound adjustment.
It's individual, unique, and custom made. There won't be another guitar like it, and Fender know it. So, to keep your pride and joy secure, there's a deluxe hardshell case included. This plush protection will get you to and from gigs while keeping the guitar in top condition. And for the collectors out there, it also comes with a certificate of authenticity so you'll have proof that it's the genuine article. Last but certainly not least, an included strap means you can don the Strat straight away. Get ready to rock.
