How
do I find out the value of my Guitar?
Identification
of guitars and amps over the phone and via the Internet
is difficult.
Fender
Australia recommends that you take your guitar into an Authorised
Fender Dealer for a visual identification and valuation.
If
you require a written valuation for insurance purposes,
you should expect to pay a fee.
Fender
Australia sells many guitar, bass and amp identification
books, which you can find in the Accessories section under
the Fender
Library / publications category.
Where
can I buy Fender Australia's products?

How do I find out the age of my Guitar / Amplifier?

Why
should I Buy Local?
Fender

for goods purchase from Australian Authorised Fender dealers.
The conditions of the limited warranty are set out on the
warranty cards provided with the product at the time of
sale.
Your
local Australian Authorised Fender Dealer is the best person
to help you with your entire guitar, bass and pro sound
needs.
Your
advantages in dealing with a local Authorised Fender Dealer
are many, and include: -
A
note of caution
Many overseas internet sites that you may be looking at
may not quote you the price inclusive of their local taxes,
freight to Australia, Australian duty (which is applicable
to guitars and amps) customs clearance charges, port charges
and surcharges and other government charges which may also
include a quarantine inspection charge, and GST. The price
quoted also may not be in Australia dollars. The price does
not include warranty outside the country of sale.
Returning
damaged, or incorrectly shipped items, or an unsatisfactory
guitar (or product in general) to countries outside Australia
may be problematic and expensive to resolve.
Purchasing
goods from overseas means that you are outside the jurisdiction
of Australian Consumer protection laws and assistance.
