However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Hartwood Artisan Sonata features a solid Sitka spruce top, known for its bright and responsive tonal qualities. Spruce offers excellent clarity and projection, making it ideal for players who want crisp, articulate sound. Whether you're strumming chords or playing intricate fingerstyle pieces, the guitar responds dynamically to your playing. Over time, spruce tops open up and develop a richer tone, giving you a guitar that sounds better the more you play it. The stunning spalted maple back and sides further enhance the visual appeal with their unique grain patterns.
With its Grand Auditorium body shape, this guitar provides a well-balanced sound with the perfect mix of volume and comfort. The carved design allows for easy access to the higher frets, making lead work or complex chord shapes a breeze. The body is built for versatility, whether you're playing live, recording, or practising at home. The abalone binding adds an elegant finishing touch to the already eye-catching spalted maple and spruce combination, giving this guitar a premium look and feel.
The Hartwood Artisan Sonata’s 5-piece neck, made from maple and rosewood, is designed for added strength and durability. This multi-piece construction reduces the risk of warping over time, ensuring the guitar remains stable and reliable even with regular use. The C/D hybrid neck profile offers a comfortable, secure grip for players of all hand sizes, making it suitable for long practice sessions or performances. Combined with the smooth rosewood fretboard, the neck provides a responsive and comfortable playing experience.
Gold die-cast machine heads ensure that the Hartwood Artisan Sonata stays in tune longer, giving you the confidence to perform without constant retuning. These high-quality tuners provide smooth, accurate adjustments, making it easy to find and maintain the perfect pitch. The gold finish complements the guitar's striking design, adding an extra touch of elegance to an already visually stunning instrument.
Equipped with D'Addario EXP-16 strings, the Artiste Plus offers enhanced tone and longevity straight out of the box. These coated strings are known for their bright, consistent tone and durability, giving you a guitar that sounds great from the first strum and stays in tune for longer periods of play.
Hartwood's carefully developed range of electric and acoustic instruments offers exceptional quality and sound. Honing in on the finest components, tonewoods, and construction techniques, each Hartwood model has been designed to evolve with you and your music. With both classic and contemporary designs, Hartwood guitars are suitable for all musicians, no matter your style.
