FMIC
warrants your Gretsch brand instrument to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship for as long as it is owned by
the original retail purchaser, except that pickups, switches,
jacks, controls, all other electronic components, tuning machines,
hardware, pickguards, plated surfaces, gig bags, cases and
case hardware are warranted for a period of one (1) year from
the date of original purchase. This warranty applies only
to the original retail purchaser when this instrument is purchased
from an Authorized Gretsch Dealer and is subject to the limitations
set forth herein. IMPORTANT: PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL SALES
RECEIPT, AS IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE VALIDATING THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY.
FMIC has
established a network of independent Authorized Service Centers
for warranty service. The Gretsch Dealer from whom you purchased
your instrument 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 instrument. To receive warranty
service, return the complete instrument to an Authorized Service
Center, with your sales receipt as proof of purchase, during
the applicable warranty period. Defective components that
qualify for coverage under this warranty will be repaired
or replaced (at FMIC's discretion) without charge. Remedies
beyond normal service repair of any Gretsch instrument require
both an evaluation and confirmation of the defect and a direct
recommendation to FMIC from an Authorized Service Center for
alternative considerations.
All transportation,
insurance and freight charges associated with warranty service
and repairs on Gretsch instruments are the responsibility
of the purchaser, as is any service initiated for the purpose
of customizing setups or adjustments beyond factory specifications.
Initial standard setup and adjustment of the instrument and
its components at the time of purchase are considered normal
Dealer product preparation, and are not covered by this warranty.
