1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Fender
®
Musical Instruments Corporation 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.
