Authorized Dealer Relationships
Being an official dealer means direct relationships with manufacturers and meeting their standards for product knowledge, support, and warranty handling. It's how we keep specs honest and service responsive.

- Standards & training — brand requirements for support and product knowledge
- Warranty advocacy — we help you navigate manufacturer coverage
Shop our brands: Breedlove, Tagima, Lâg, Ashdown and more.
Quality Control: Prevention Over Promises
Every instrument is inspected. If something isn't right, it doesn't go on our site. Period. See our Professional Inspection Checklist.
- Zero-tolerance for production defects — returns to the maker when needed
- Every instrument is carefully inspected before it is offered for sale and again before shipment.
Manufacturer Warranty: What It Usually Covers
- Defects in materials or workmanship present at the factory
- Finish and manufacturing issues detected under normal use
What it typically doesn't cover: accidental damage, environmental issues (humidity/temperature), wear-and-tear, or modifications.
Optional Extended Warranty Protection
Most real-life problems aren't factory defects — accidental drops, electrical issues after the manufacturer's warranty ends, or wear from heavy gigging. Ask us about current extended protection options for your instrument; availability and coverage vary by product.
- Coverage, when available, may include mechanical and electrical breakdowns after the manufacturer's warranty period
- Covered repairs may include parts and labor; replacement or reimbursement if not repairable
- Optional accidental damage coverage may be available depending on the plan
Contact us at info@ecgmusic.com or (619) 334-3113 for current protection plan availability and terms before you buy.
