· If you believe your item(s) have been damaged in transit, please contact us within 48 hours to let us know. If you can see the item has not arrived in good condition, sign for the goods as "DAMAGED". This is imperative, as goods signed for without comment cannot be claimed for.
How will your guitar arrive:
Your new Faith Guitar would have been checked and given a pre-delivery inspection by our techs prior to shipping. This is to ensure that the guitar arrives in a playable condition. However, sometimes due to climatic conditions, the tonewoods on guitars will move in transit. These movements may result in your guitar requiring a setup in your local environment.
Your guitar will naturally require regular maintenance throughout its life but will more than reward you for it. If your guitar has a manufacturing fault, then we will help to address this with you. However, guitars do need maintenance, especially after climatic changes, and may well have been affected by 2 or 3 weeks in a US / Canadian Customs warehouse. We cannot be responsible for this, and your guitar may need additional setup work when it arrives with you.
Your Warranty on your Guitar
Your warranty is non-transferable. Therefore it is only valid for the original purchaser.
Your Warranty is held by contract of sale. Therefore, if you purchased your guitar direct from Faith Guitars in the UK, then your warranty is with Faith Guitars / Barnes & Mullins in the UK.
If you purchased your guitar from a retail store in the USA or Canada (or anywhere else), then your warranty is held with that retailer, and they should be your first point of contact. They are obliged to assist in the warranty claim process.
As a general rule, your warranty resides with the physical company from which you purchased the product.
Your Warranty Terms:
Firstly, please register your guitar here.
Your Faith guitar has a Manufacturer-Issued 12 Month Warranty that covers manufacturing faults of both the instrument and any Electronics fitted.
- Your warranty does NOT cover setups or general maintenance of your guitar, including but not limited to: Fret Dressing, Neck adjustments and nut or saddle adjustments.
- Your warranty does NOT cover damage to your guitar caused misuse; accidental damage or climatic conditions . (We always recommend using a Humdifier or Humidity Regulator. You can read more about our advice on ‘Humidity and Your Guitar’, here.)
If your guitar is within its warranty period, you will not have to pay to have it collected, repaired and delivered back to you.
If your guitar is outside of its warranty period, charges for parts, labour and delivery will apply. We will advise you of any charges before going ahead with your repair.

· We will endeavour to find a solution to your issue before initiating a return.
