Refund policy
Please note: If a product listing includes a specific warranty or exchange policy, that policy will take precedence over the terms below in the event of a conflict. If no such policy is listed, the following Diamond Return Policy applies.
Guitars & Amplifiers
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, guitars and amplifiers are not eligible for return or refund. If your item is found to be defective according to Diamond’s manufacturer specifications, it will be replaced with the same or a like model. If a direct replacement is unavailable, Diamond may, at its discretion, replace the item with a product of equal or greater value.
- All Diamond instruments and amplifiers include a full manufacturer warranty unless otherwise specified in the product listing.
- Returns or exchanges due to personal preference (tone, feel, appearance, etc.) are not accepted.
- Shipping damage or manufacturer issues present upon delivery must be reported within 72 hours of delivery.
- The 72-hour period begins according to the carrier’s delivery record.
- The 72-hour reporting requirement does not limit Diamond’s manufacturer warranty or any rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Guitar Setup & Environmental Changes
Every Diamond guitar is inspected and set up prior to shipment. Temperature, humidity, climate, and other environmental conditions during and after shipping can affect an instrument’s setup.
- Changes to neck relief, action, intonation, or other normal adjustments are not considered manufacturing defects.
- If adjustment is needed after delivery, Diamond recommends having the guitar professionally set up for the customer’s playing preferences and local environment.
- The condition of the factory setup upon receipt does not qualify an instrument for return, refund, or replacement.

To qualify:
- The return must be requested within 30 days of delivery.
- Merchandise must be in new, unused condition.

Postage & Handling
