If the guitar malfunctions due to faulty materials and workmanship, at the sole discretion of Ormsby Guitars, we may repair the guitar without charge.

All shipping and insurance charges, including any perceived “collector” value, are the sole responsibility or the original owner/purchaser.

Once the guitar arrives at the factory we will determine whether the defect is covered under the terms of this warranty. If it is found to be covered under the warranty, the repair will be done at no cost to the purchaser/original owner. If the repair is not covered under the warranty, you will be given an estimated cost to repair the issue (to the original owner/purchaser).

This warranty applies to all states and territories of Australia. This warranty also includes all international sales.

Circumstances that void this warranty offer:
   * An instrument is given to an unauthorised technician for inspection prior to contacting us.
   * Attempting to fix an issue yourself, causing more problems.

Notes:
#1 All instruments that require domestic or international shipping will always be covered for the full value of the shipment. Any damage that occurs during shipping will be covered by the relevant insurance policy. Obviously we are unable to control how your guitar is treated whilst in transit, but we will do our best to ensure it arrives safely. 
#2 We take great pride in our workmanship and products. It's unfair to discover social media posts regarding a product prior to you contacting us.
