I thought of this as I was at a local music store, there was a gibson guitar that had a big sticker "lifetime warranty", boy that would be nice.
So who has the best warranty out there now for PSG?
I always thought 1 yr was the normal. |

Not sure, I think some of the makers are interested in service so depending on what breaks and how it was broken might make a difference, and if you can fix yourself without sending steel back, etc.
If it is a matter of them sending you a part, sometimes it may go a long way for customer relations, especially given the relatively small community we are compared to other types of musicians. As an example, a few months ago I needed a part on on my 1999 Sierra. Tom Baker sent a $45 replacement part free of charge. Even after I told him I didn't mind paying. |

Jerry Fessenden told me mine came with a full warranty "til I cash the bank check, or when your tail-lights dim over the horizen." Of course, he was only joking. weren't you Jerry.

Right Jerry?

| Warranties are tough on steels because so many people insist on getting under them and ruining their setups. Materials I can see being covered along with workmanship. |

A.N. yes you may be right MSA may have the best warranty.
K.H. yes I would think guys would change things around alot thus voiding warranty, my '06 Carter I have not touched it at all other than tuning and oiling, I am very pleased with it. |

I have a student who is the 2nd owner of a very late model Gibson Dobro and the reso cover chrome (or is it nickel?) cracked. He was told by a Gibson rep that the warranty only extends to the original purchaser.
