Warranty

Gretsch's Instrument Limited Lifetime Warranty 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.

    Being a lefty keeps my options limited. I was in the market for an LP-style body without paying a premium for a Gibson. Had an Epi LP before and wasn't too impressed with it. This Gretsch model is great! Comfortable body, nice hardware, and great sound. Had to adjust the action at first to get rid of some fret buzz, but that is super easy on this model. Highly recommended

  • Pleased.

    I am still getting aquainted with it. I've played Fender and Ibanez mostly over the years; this is my first Gretsch. I'm used to the strings being a fraction farther apart, but it plays nicely. My 60 yr. old fat fingers fit a little tight.

  • Great guitar for the money. Super playable.

    While I don't really play good enough to do it justice, this guitar just feels good. The thin U neck profile is smooth and easy to play. The guitar sounds great and has a ridiculous amount of natural sustain.
