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. Optional extended warranty protection may be available on eligible products through our protection plan partner.
- Coverage varies by product and selected CPS plan
- 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 selected
Customers should review the CPS protection terms shown at checkout for full details, exclusions, and the claims process. Coverage is not guaranteed on all products.
Why New From an Authorized Dealer
- Full manufacturer warranty from day one
- Verified specs and latest production improvements
- No hidden history from prior owners or mods
- Extended protection available on eligible products for real-world peace of mind
