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 Gretsch G6122T-62 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman is a dose of pure sonic sophistication from the esteemed brand that rocked a generation. With era defining TV Jones Classic humbuckers the G6122T generates a chiming vintage twang that still boasts plenty of growl. Crafted from laminated maple, the large hollowbody offers excellent projection and superior resonance. Finished in walnut satin, the Country Gentleman has unmistakable elegance, enhanced by the painted-on F-holes which provide the classic hollowbody aesthetic without feedback bleed at higher volumes.
For a guitar made famous by Chet Atkins and George Harrison, Gretsch have made sure to include period appropriate appointments to recreate their iconic tones and style. Among these are the Bigsby Vibrato tailpiece, dual foam string mutes, aged pearloid thumb inlays and gold Grover Imperial tuning machines. Transform your playing with the string mutes switches that provide a palm mute effect, allowing you to focus on your picking. With so many high-end premium features, the Grestch G6122T-62 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman gives you instant access to refined, timeless tones.
Product Ref: 80633
The Gretsch G6122T-62GE Country Gentlemen is a classic shape that instantly evokes the complex fingerpicking of Chet Atkins and the revolutionary riffs of George Harrison. Its large, hollow design offers crisp overtones and superb projection through the 3-ply maple top.
Laminated maple produces a deep, rounded tone that has the benefit of reducing feedback at higher volume levels. Feedback is further reduced by having painted F-holes, granting you the Hollowbody aesthetic without suffering the drawbacks. Gretsch want you to have fun with the G6122T, so play at any level and enjoy tonal purity with minimal interference.
A "U" shape neck reduces hand fatigue and helps you get into chords faster, while the choice of ebony as the fretboard wood gives you unparalleled response, comfort and tone when plucking each note. In true Gretsch fashion, this guitar features a zero fret for an alternative tone and less wear on the bone nut.
Vintage style frets are matched with pearloid thumbnail inlays that elevate the G6122T's classic appearance while also emphasising the ebony fretboard and its natural beauty. Quite apart from its unique visage, it also allows for smooth playability and quick transitions around the neck. A double-cutaway makes accessing the high frets effortless, inviting you to use the full-scale length for your playing.
Equipped with TV Jones Classic pickups that respond to every pick or strum, the Gretsch G6122T offers a refined, articulate tone and an unmistakable sound reminiscent of the 1950s era. Controlling these delicately constructed classic pickups is easy, with independent volume controls, a master volume control and a three-way toggle switch. Tailor your sound exactly how you want it. In addition, Gretsch have installed their "Squeezebox" paper-in-oil capacitors that sing with a silky vintage high end, for the ultimate sound.
These expertly made pickups from TV Jones will help you summon the sounds of the '60s and emit the Gretsch growl that launched the British Invasion. While in humbucker format, these aren't as dark or warm as traditional double-coil pickups, and still shine with gleaming bright tones on both positions. Their middle ground voicing between single coil and humbucker lets them unload when you need to crank up the gain, but retains the airy qualities for clean channels.
The Gretsch G6122T-62GE features the classic appointments that made this guitar a legend including dual foam string mutes with red felt surrounds, standby switch, gold G Arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, gloss urethane finish, aged pearloid thumbnail inlays, gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and gold Grover Imperial tuning machines.
Then there's the Bigsby B6GVT Vibrato Tailpiece, which lets you add expressive shimmer to your playing all while keeping your tuning stable thanks to its pinned "rocking" bar bridge. Working in tandem with the zero fret and bone nut, your strings will be able to slide about without binding. Get experimenting and let loose your licks augmented by the vibrato panache of the Bigsby tailpiece.
