However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

No over-the-top electronics. No difficult-to-use controls. Just straightforward vintage tone that'll make your music shine. The '52 Tele LH comes loaded with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound '51 Nocaster pickups. These single-coils bring stunning brightness into your playing, communicating every note you hit with a sharp, crisp voice. It's the sound that started rock 'n' roll - and it's waiting for you...
Even with iconic fifties tone at your fingertips, you still need the flexibility to be able to shape your guitar's voice to suit you and your music. So, Fender have included 3-way pickup switching. This will let you choose between the fuller, thicker sound from the neck pickup, the sharper tones that come from the bridge, or somewhere in between. Whether you're a lead or rhythm guitarist, the Thinline Nocaster will work for you.
It's not enough to just sound '50s. It has to feel '50s, too. Luckily, Fender have ensured that every aspect of the 52 Custom Shop Tele has the unique, vintage feel that guitarists crave in a Custom Shop model. A lightweight ash body lets players roam free on stage, along with a single-cutaway design for effortless access to the upper frets. Fender know better than anyone that a guitar should enhance creativity. And this Custom Shop model is certainly no exception.
It's not just the body, though. A 65 Strat "C" shaped neck fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, whilst providing authentic feel through its entirety. And its maple surface lets your hands soar across every inch of the guitar's fingerboard and perform every riff, chord, and solo with ultimate precision. It's almost addictive to play.
When you're on stage, constantly tuning up can be a hassle and an inconvenience. This won't be a problem with the '52 Tele. The vintage-style tuning machines hold your tuning tightly in place, so falling out of tune mid-song will be a thing of the past. You'll always sound precise. And you'll be heard fully, too.
The vintage designed 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles conducts the string vibrations excellently - dispersing the captivating tones of the Custom Shop Tele from bridge to pickup. There's attention to detail in every component. And this results in legendary sound.
An instrument of such individuality needs protecting. Which is why the Fender 52 Telecaster comes with a tweed case. Take your cherished instrument on the road, with the peace of mind that it’ll be in pristine condition every time you play. Preventing scratching, scraping, or any other damage to your guitar - the tweed case makes transporting between venues simple and stress-free. No worries. No panic. Just the excitement of performance, the way it should be.
