Warranty Issues Manufacturer warranty usually covers parts and labour.
Some warranties only cover manufacturer defects while others cover more.
Please read your manufacturer warranty carefully to determine the coverage you have. Shipping and handling costs are not included with manufacturer warranties and are the responsibility of the purchaser. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the owner. Some products require regular maintenance which is not covered by manufacturer warranty. Some examples are guitars where neck adjustments are neccessary every 6 months, or so, to ensure that the instrument continues to work properly.
