Limited Warranty

For your peace of mind, Original Vintage Guitars, LLC (“we,” “us” or “our”) offers the Buyer (“you” or “your”) a 48-hour approval period on all instruments shipped within the USA. From the time of delivery, you have 48 hours in which to inspect the instrument and verify its condition to your satisfaction. If your expectations are not met, notify us by e-mail within the 48-hour approval period and we will authorize a return. Return shipping and insurance costs are your responsibility. The instrument must be returned to us unmodified, in the same condition it was received. Your failure to notify us within the 48-hour approval period window constitutes full and final acceptance of the instrument “as-is, where-is.” In person purchases are final. Sales within the state of Florida are subject to state and county sales tax. For vintage amplifiers, if a speaker cone or tube is damaged in transit, we will arrange for and cover the cost of speaker reconing and replace broken tubes with like parts. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method or by check at our sole discretion, less any payment fees or shipping costs. In no event are we liable for consequential or special damages or for transportation, installation, adjustment or other expenses which may arise in conjunction with the instruments or parts. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY MADE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

For most domestic shipments, we use FedEx 2 day service. If you prefer another carrier or require overnight delivery, contact us to discuss the options. We can also arrange hold for pickup at your local FedEx location.

We welcome buyers from outside the USA. We have shipped vintage instruments safely around the world to many satisfied buyers. For international purchases we accept international bank wire transfers paid in USD. We ship by FedEx International Express service with delivery in about 3 days. Shipments are fully insured and declared at full value. You are responsible for all customs fees, duties, and assume all risk of importation. Instruments shipped outside the USA are sold “as-is”, and do not include an approval period. In the unlikely event of damage in transit, we will cover the cost of repairs and devaluation of the instrument, as determined by an approved appraisal.
