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 Gibson SG Standard '61 Stop Bar is the timeless design that's universally adored, now presented in an alluring custom colour finish. These eye-catching coats are topped with Gibson's painstakingly hand-applied gloss nitro layer, giving it that unmistakable SG sheen that'll draw the spotlight straight to you. And if the sharp looks don't entice, then the uproarious sixties sounds certainly will! Gibson's '60s Burstbuckers take the hot rock sounds of the period and give you that in modern form, with alnico 5 magnets and the additional power to make your notes sing.
It's a guitar that's been played, loved, and rocked for decades, and all those original features are present on the SG Standard '61, including the revolutionary SlimTaper neck carve and premium rosewood fretboard with cream binding. On top of that rests medium jumbo frets and the classic acrylic trapezoid inlays. Other Standard appointments include the 5-play tear drop pickguard, TOM bridge with stop bar and Keystone tuners. That's all backed up with Gibson's premium hard shell case and accessory kit, ensuring your SG will both sound and look its best for the years to come.

The only thing more legendary than the Gibson SG is the resonance it produces. What makes it so special? It's the careful combination of tonewoods and the meticulous attention to detail which forms that precious sound. As you strike a power chord, the loud SG tone reverberates out of your amp. The body is skillfully assembled from real mahogany to provide you with a rich, vibrant voice, and a thick mid-range bite - making this the perfect tool for solos.
There's a stack of reason why so many great guitarists have used the SG throughout history, including George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Killer tonal quality, powerful sound, and the way it sits within a band dynamic. The rosewood neck produces a certain depth to the overall resonance, meaning nothing will be lost in translation - your riffs will be heard for days.
Picture this. You're on stage, crushing one of your tasty solos, until you feel your guitar digging in to your side. It can be painful and distracting. This won't be an issue with the Gibson SG. The contoured body and deep cutaways allow this instrument to rest comfortably as you're wearing it on stage. Considered, stylish, and secure - this is a guitar engineered with the musician in mind.
Crafted from real rosewood, the fingerboard makes those chord changes even smoother whilst adding a warmth to your tone. Glide form chord to chord with ease - free of any discomfort.
Gibson have pulled out all the stops. The unique slim taper profile ensures you'll have a tight grip on the neck as it morphs beautifully to the shape of your hand - without exerting too much pressure. This alleviates any on stage cramp that may occur. So you can focus entirely on your playing.
The 61 Burstbucker humbuckers do so much more than just pick up the vibrations and send it through your amp. They are essential in delivering that loud SG sound, with an abundance of power. Humbuckers remove any awkward and unwanted interference that can sometimes occur during a live show. By doing so, they give your tonal quality the clarity an SG deserves. Have no doubt, every one of your licks will be heard with optimum definition.
Another piece of hardware that's vital for the singing sustain you would expect from a Gibson SG is the aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge. It transfers the vibrations of your strings throughout the mahogany body, to provide you with a sustain that's almost as long as a Frank Zappa solo. Which is pretty long.
First launched in 1961, it's difficult to ignore the reputation this guitar has earned itself. Heavy, loud, and deep in tone, - it quickly became a guitar for the rebellious. Who could forget the iconic image of Pete Townsend smashing his guitar into pieces. It's truly liberating. As well as being described as having the 'fastest neck in the world' due to the SlimTaper profile and smooth fingerboard - its association with rock 'n' roll was inevitable.
Safe and sound. Your treasured SG will remain in the secure hands of a softshell case. This is the ideal environment to store your instrument, where it will remain protected from the elements. Ideal for those who are always on the road. Dependable, well-sheltered, and reliable - your pride and joy is kept out of harm's way.
