OUR WARRANTY
The standard Diamond Guitars warranty gives you a full year, bumper-to-bumper, WITHOUT having to register. You're covered no matter what.
WARRANTY
For any Diamond Guitars customer who purchases a new Diamond Guitar, you shall enjoy a full 1-year warranty, with no obligation to register your guitar. Simply make sure you keep proof of purchase as you will need to provide it to obtain warranty service. This warranty applies to the original owner only, and is not transferable under any circumstances.
Your new Diamond Guitars instrument is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 1-year for the original owner, if used under normal operating conditions, subject to the limitations described below. This warranty applies to any Diamond guitar purchased as NEW from an AUTHORIZED Diamond Guitars retailer. Please retain your original sales receipt as proof of purchase. If you need to file a warranty claim in the future, you can send in a photocopy of your receipt at that time.
This warranty does NOT cover the following:
Any instrument that was not purchased from someone other than an AUTHORIZED Diamond Guitars dealer.
Any instrument that has been modified or customized after shipment from Diamond Guitars.
Any instrument that has been serviced by unauthorized persons.
Any instrument whose serial number is missing, or has been altered in any way.

Shipping charges to Diamond Guitars for warranty service are covered by you. Shipping back to you is covered by us.
If we are unable to repair your guitar, we will replace it with a Comparable Guitar. A Comparable Guitar is the same body style and paint/hardware/specifications. If we are unable to replace it with a Comparable Guitar, we will provide alternatives to you based on body style or series.
If a return is to be made to Diamond Guitars, the customer must first obtain a Return Authorization number (RA#) by phone or email. If the RA# is not clearly marked on the package being returned, it will be refused. Diamond Guitars will inspect any returned instrument, and upon approval, and at the sole discretion of Diamond Guitars, will replace any part or parts deemed defective. Diamond Guitars reserves the right to use materials regularly utilized or available at the time of repair in the event that the original materials are no longer available. The customer is responsible for the cost of shipping the instrument to Diamond Guitars; please provide insurance and pack the instrument properly! Diamond Guitars will pay the insurance and shipping costs to send the instrument back.
Our warranty is limited to US and Canadian Customers only. For warranty outside the US and Canada, please check with your local distributor or the retailer where you purchased your guitar.
