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.

Key Features
The Fender Malibu Player Electro Acoustic is an effortlessly cool parlour guitar that combines a vintage surfer aesthetic with premium appointments. Featuring a solid spruce top for articulate and developed tones, a newly designed slim "C" shape neck with tilt-back headstock, and a discreet preamp system for playing live and recording, it's ideal for players that want a bright-voiced acoustic with a unique character.
In addition to its eye-catching appearance, the Malibu's sleek playability will bring out your best skills. Its slim neck shape and shorter scale length gives it an electric-guitar style feel, affording your fingers plenty of room to execute those difficult chord shapes while also allowing for smooth transitions around the scales. Meanwhile, its tilt-back headstock and Fender designed bridge and machine heads keeps your tuning in check and maximises sustain. And finally, with Fishman Flex electronics, you can count on a natural acoustic sound while taking to the stage.
Product Ref: 270298
First launched back in the '60s, the attractive Malibu shape has a rich heritage for its distinctive contours and bright colours. The slim parlour-style shape creates a bright and clear voice that's ideal for fingerpicking, but also suits a variety of other musical styles.
In addition, its natural treble rich character makes it great at standing above a mix of other acoustic instruments for a sound that cuts through.
With a solid spruce top, the Malibu Player offers you exceptional control over your dynamics and projection, while also providing a crisp clarity in every note. It's a hugely popular choice as a topwood for acoustics owing to its outstanding resonance and reaching projection, meaning even softly fingerpicked notes will be heard clearly.
The Malibu Player boasts a slightly shorter 24" scale length and a slim "C" shaped neck for an impeccably sleek feel. This slender design takes the effort away from the higher-string tension of acoustics, allowing you to easily slot into tricky chord shapes and transition around the fretboard fluidly.
It looks good, sounds great - and will stay that way with minimal maintenance! The Malibu Player's tilt-back headstock and Fender designed bridge and machine heads ensure tuning stability, maximising sustain over long practice sessions.
Whether you're a novice player or a seasoned veteran looking for an acoustic with a unique sound, the Fender Malibu Player Electro Acoustic is the perfect choice.
