Limited Lifetime Warranty
GUILD
®
INSTRUMENT
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Cordoba Music Group (“CMG”)
warrants this Guild 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, 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 Guild 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.
CMG has established a network of
independent Authorized Service
Centers for warranty service. The
Guild 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 Guild instrument. To receive
warranty service, return the complete
instrument to an Authorized CMG
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 CMG’s
discretion) without charge. Remedies
beyond normal service repair of any
Guild instrument require both an
evaluation and confirmation of the
defect and a direct recommendation to
CMG from an Authorized CMG Service
Center for alternative considerations.
All transportation, insurance and
freight charges associated with
warranty service and repairs
on Guild 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.

this warranty:
1. Fret wear, saddle wear, nut wear,
strings and batteries.
2. Setups, adjustments or routine
maintenance of any kind.

plastic, rubber or other synthetic
materials, any other chemicals or
non-CMG-approved polishes.
4. Damage, corrosion or rusting of any
hardware components caused by
humidity, salty air, or exposure to
the moisture, body salts and acids of

part of the instrument or case
including jacks, controls, switches,
