Everyone gets a lunch break, annual holidays and pension provision.

Q: Shergold Guitars aren’t available in my country – how can I buy one?
( + )

We currently have dealers in the UK only. Many of these are able to ship overseas and are used to dealing with overseas transactions so it’s best to get in touch with them. You can find and contact all of our dealers here

Q: Is my new Shergold guitar covered by any kind of warranty?
( + )

As with all retail purchases, your contract of sale / warranty is directly with the store that you purchased the product from. So, in the event of a warranty claim or the need of a repair, you should contact your local main dealer– preferably the retailer from which you bought the instrument. In the event that the store from which your made the purchase goes out of business, you can contact any other Shergold Guitars retailer who should assist.

To claim under warranty, you will need a copy of your original purchase receipt. Where a product requires repair or replacement under warranty, most likely the product will be returned to our technicians who will assess and report back to the store, who in turn will advise you of the next steps.

Q: What if my guitar needs a repair but is outside of its warranty period?
( + )

For repairs outside of warranty terms, your local Shergold Guitars retailer will be able to offer advice and a possible fix for the issue either in store or by using a local specialist guitar tech.
