Q - What is your returns policy with regards to faulty items?

A - Most new items are sold with a manufacturer’s 1-year warranty against manufacturing faults or defects in materials. This minimum 1-year period is extended by certain manufacturers and this will be noted in the listing. This does not cover consumable items such as guitar strings etc. See individual product listings for more information, or if you are unsure as to what the manufacturer’s warranty covers or how long it is please contact us. All pre-owned items are covered by a 1-month warranty unless stated otherwise in the listing. For warranty returns the consumer will be liable for their own return carriage costs. Please contact us on 01603 623563 to discuss your return for authorisation before sending. Send all returns along with a cover note explaining your return to:
