• Shipping damage.
• Normal “wear and tear”, discoloration, fading or damage to the original finish, worn frets, strings, tuners, hardware, gold plating.

AMERICAN EXOTIC GUITARS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY THE PURCHASER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OR PROFITS OR BUSINESS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INSTRUMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, EVEN IF AMERICAN EXOTIC GUITARS OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND AMERICAN EXOTIC GUITARS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXPENSES, CLAIMS OR SUITS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.
If at any time during the warranty, this guitar malfunctions due to faulty materials and workmanship, American Exotic Guitars will, at its sole discretion, repair the defect without charge or replace it with a model of similar specification and value that does not exceed the original purchase price of the guitar.

All shipping and insurance, including any perceived “collector” value, are the sole responsibility of the original purchaser. On arrival at the American Exotic Guitars factory, a determination will be made whether the defect is covered under the terms of the warranty. If the repair is covered under the terms of the warranty, it will be repaired at no cost to the original purchaser including return shipping. If the repair is not covered under warranty, an estimate of the cost of the repair to the original purchaser will be given. This warranty applies to the United States and other countries.
