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.

Key Features
The Fender Made in Japan Ltd Ed INTL Color Stratocaster MN is a special edition of a '70s style guitar. Originally developed in the US in '80s, and based on the popular Made in Japan Traditional series, this limited edition reissue captures that retro magic. Featuring top tier components and a truly individual style, this Strat is packed with flair and playability, starting with its limited international body colour. It creates a vibrant aesthetic, and pairs with specially voiced Vintage-Style pickups to add to its classic character.
And like any Fender Strat, you can expect a comfortable and smooth riffing experience. A gentle "U" shaped neck hosts a premium rosewood fretboard for silky scale traversals and chord transitions. And even better, it's shaped into versatile 9.5" radius and fitted with 21 medium jumbo frets to adapt to virtually any playing style. Complete with ultra reliable, Fender engineered hardware like vintage F stamped tuning machines, a 6-saddle tremolo bridge and genuine bone nut, the Made in Japan Strat revives a legend and places it right into your hands.
Product Ref: 255319
Based on original US product drawings and colour samples, the International Color Series captures the spirit of Made in Japan Traditional Series. With throwback '70s appointments like the large headstock, Modern Logo and 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronised Tremolo, it bears the high standards of Japanese craftsmanship matched with the character of Fender's home country.
Complementing this is a completely unique colour scheme, created specially for this limited edition. Each model in the International series is named for a different worldly location, and presents a bright hue that contrasts with the eggshell pickguard and black shaded hardware. Altogether, it creates a totally distinctive appearance that'll make you stand out on stage.
Clarity. Sparkle. Delicate top-ends. It's all here, and it's clearer than ever. The custom voiced Vintage-Style pickups loaded into the Made in Japan Strat present you with a stunning set of articulated tones. Everything you play is infused with bright, present harmonics that clearly show the nuance in each note. They're a great balance between lower output coils and more modern, hotter pickups as they allow you to dip in and out of a variety of genres.
Selectable through a five-way switch, there's plenty of textures and accents to access - From the rich, syrupy twang of the neck pickup to the bright, shimmering cut of the bridge. Using this you can seamlessly switch between piercing leads to choppy rhythm sections at the flick of a switch, and what's more, you can sculpt your sound further through the volume and tone controls.
Past mixed with present, all in one guitar. Generating a cool vintage vibe, the Made In Japan Strat features some classic appointments in a nod to the Fender guitars of old. But as for playability, it's a got a full modern attitude. A contemporary "U" shaped neck affords you an easy, swift playing action up and down the scales.
Even better, it boasts a satin finish so it's super smooth for you speedsters out there. Matched with a maple fretboard that's in a string-bend friendly 9.5" radius and honed to a gloriously sleek finish, you'll be able to bring out your best skills on this board. And to finish off the retro vibe, the 21 frets are shaped in a medium jumbo style, affording you with tonnes of room for expansive string bends and expressive playing.
Take your playing further. Hosting a set of refined hardware, the Ltd INTL Edition Strat will make every note sound just that bit better. Starting with the genuine bone nut, every string will ring out cleanly with minimal fret buzz. Working in tandem with the vintage style bridge, you'll enjoy almost endless sustain as well as precise control over your intonation.
And over at the headstock, a set of vintage "F" stamped tuners keep your pitch held in place, so you can hit the strings as hard as you like without tuning slips. And of course, we've saved the best till last, the 6-Saddle Vintage-Style bridge with synchronised tremolo system lets you inject the shimmering whammy grace into your songs. Complete with an included gig bag, this rare take on the Stratocaster is ready to hit the stage immediately - so be sure you don't miss out!
