INSTRUMENT
1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (“FMIC”) warrants this Squier instrument to be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of original
purchase, subject to the limitations set forth herein. This warranty applies only to the
original retail purchaser when this instrument is purchased from an authorized Squier
dealer, and requires the purchaser to supply a copy of the original proof of purchase
(original sales receipt with the instrument serial number and his/her name indicated as the
purchaser, thereon) at the time service is requested.
Repair service of defects covered by this warranty can be performed only at a Fender
authorized warranty service center, as designated by FMIC. Remedies beyond normal
service repair of any Squier instrument require both an evaluation of the defect and a
direct recommendation from a Fender authorized service center for alternative
considerations. A network of authorized service centers is available for warranty service.
Your Squier dealer may also be authorized for warranty service and should be the first
point of contact when service of any kind is required for your Squier instrument.
All transportation, insurance and freight charges associated with warranty service and
repairs on Squier instruments are the responsibility of the purchaser, as is any service
initiated for the purpose of customizing adjustments beyond factory specifications. Initial
standard setup and adjustment of the instrument and its components at the time of
purchase are considered normal dealer preparation.
