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

LIMITED WARRANTY.

   Fender 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 Fender Service
Center, with your sales receipt as proof of purchase,

beyond normal service repair of any Guild instrument
require both an evaluation and confirmation of the
defect and a direct recommendation to Fender from
an Authorized Fender 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
