However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Austin MacNutt 1962 Strat is a testament to the highest level of Fender’s craftsmanship. As part of the exclusive Masterbuilt series, this instrument is handcrafted by Austin MacNutt himself, ensuring every detail meets exacting standards. Each contour, carve, and finish passes through expert hands, resulting in an instrument that perfectly replicates a vintage Strat while boasting a superior build quality that only a Masterbuilder can deliver. From the select tonewoods to the final relic touches, this Strat offers a level of precision and artistry that makes it truly one-of-a-kind.
A carefully selected 2-piece alder body, known for its balanced tonal response and excellent resonance forms the foundation of this beauty. Finished in a striking Aged Desert Sunset nitrocellulose lacquer, it's brimming with authentic vintage character and stunning looks. The relic finish is expertly executed to recreate decades of natural wear, adding subtle checking, edge wear, and hardware patina that creates the feel of a well-played original from the early '60s.
Delivering the unmistakable voice of this Strat are a trio of Fender Custom Shop Handwound Tomatillo pickups. These pickups are specially voiced to sit between the classic 50s and 60s Strat sounds, offering a slightly underwound character that brings out clarity, chime, and dynamic response. The neck and middle pickups share the same carefully calibrated wind, while the bridge pickup is tailored to provide a touch more output for enhanced bite and definition. Paired with the vintage-style Strat Blender wiring and high-quality CTS pots, the Tomatillo pickups let you explore a wide tonal palette, from warm, rounded cleans to crisp, articulate leads, all with exceptional sensitivity to your playing dynamics.
The custom neck on this Stratocaster is built for exceptional comfort and playability. Crafted from quarter-sawn maple for superior stability, it features a large 'C' profile that fills the hand comfortably without feeling bulky. The fingerboard is carved from AAA-grade dark CITES rosewood, offering a smooth playing surface and luxurious feel. The 9.5-inch radius and jumbo 6100 frets make it easy to bend and execute fast runs while maintaining excellent intonation across the fretboard. Subtle details like the wide dot spacing, micarta inlays, and carefully shaped headstock secure the vintage-correct specs while delivering modern comfort that suits a wide range of playing styles.
Completing the vintage-inspired package is a set of carefully selected hardware that stays true to the 1962 design while delivering modern stability. The American Vintage Strat bridge and upgraded vintage tremolo arm provide smooth vibrato action with reliable tuning stability, while the vintage-style tuners with Fender logos ensure precise adjustments every time. All hardware is treated with a relic process that complements the aged finish, offering the visual charm of decades-old hardware. Even the smaller details, such as the parchment pickguard, white relic knobs, and period-correct decals, contribute to the overall vintage authenticity of this beauty.
