Our commitment to exceptional customer service extends to hassle-free returns, ensuring that you can shop with confidence knowing that we stand behind the quality and value of our products. We kindly request that the returned goods must be in their original state (no damage) and any goods or accessories that accompany the returned product must also come back to us. The goods should also be returned with their original box, packing and accessories.

If the return is due to missing or faulty parts then we will offer a full refund or replacement provided we are aware of this within 30 days. Any refund, which is due to a fault, other defect or a mistake on our part, will include a refund of the applicable delivery charge.

INSTALLATION OF GUITAR PARTS:
We do not accept responsibility for any damage caused to your instrument as a result of fitting any part purchased from us. We strongly advise that customers carefully inspect and offer up the part to their instrument to ensure proper sizing and compatibility before proceeding with installation. If the part does not fit, do not attempt to modify or force it onto the instrument. Please contact us immediately to arrange a return or exchange. Any attempts to alter the part or force its installation may void eligibility for returns or refunds.

STANDARD TEMPLATE PICKGUARDS:
Before installing, please do a "dry run" on your instrument to ensure all mounting holes and pickup cuts are correctly positioned. Do not remove the protective film or install any components until this check is complete. Once the protective cover has been removed, the pickguard is no longer in a re-saleable condition, and the replacement warranty will be void. We cannot accept returns or issue refunds for standard template pickguards that have had their protective film removed.

CUSTOM-MADE PICKGUARDS:
Custom pickguards are non-returnable and non-refundable. This includes any pickguard with requested modifications, such as repositioning, deleting, or resizing holes or slots. Pickguards created from a customer’s provided outline or original pickguard also fall under this policy. Due to the custom nature of these items, they cannot be resold or reused, making returns and refunds unavailable.

Please ensure that any pre-authorised returns are sent using a registered postal or courier service as we cannot be responsible for undelivered parcels being sent to us. Please post returns to the following address:

We will select the most appropriate carrier for your goods. This means your delivery may arrive in more than one batch to ensure your order is transported in the best possible way.
