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.

The relic finish on the CuNiFe Tele Custom is a beautiful feature that gives the guitar an authentic vintage look. Its heavy relic finishing process involves simulating years of use on the guitar to create a unique, aged appearance. This process includes sanding, chipping, and even cracking the paint and applying a nitrocellulose lacquer to give the guitar a vintage feel. As a result, the guitar looks like it has been played for decades, with the finish having the authentic look of battle scars.
The relic finish not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also influences its sound. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer used in the relic finish allows the wood to breathe, improving the natural resonance and tonal quality. Additionally, the worn-in feel of the neck offers a comfortable playing experience, as if you have been playing it for years. Get the same look and feel as those from the golden age of electric guitars.
