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 Fishman Sonicore pickup integrated into the AEWC12 is a remarkable piece of technology that delivers an unrivalled and impressive quality. It precisely captures every nuance and detail of your acoustics, rendering it in stunning detail through your amplifier or PA system. With its superior sensitivity, it boasts excellent accuracy in transmitting a richly detailed, full guitar tone to any amplification system, ensuring that you always sound your best no matter where you perform.
Alongside this, your model is also equipped with an AEQ-SP1 preamp, which is designed to provide the user with a premium audio experience. With its built-in EQ, this electronic lets you dial in extra punch that enhances the tonal clarity. You can fine-tune the bass, treble, and mid-range frequencies to suit your individual playing style and preference. In addition, this preamp also features a digital tuner conveniently located on the upper bout. The tuner is easy to read and use, allowing you to keep your sound perfectly in tune both on-stage and in the studio.
The AEWC12 is known for its unique sound, largely due to the choice of materials used. The spruce top on this guitar provides bright and punchy tones, ideal for both fingerpicking and strumming. Sapele back and sides are also utilised, offering warm and mellow sounds that help to balance out the spruce's brightness. These woods work together harmoniously, creating a well-rounded and versatile tone that is suitable for a wide range of music genres.
A nyatoh neck and walnut fingerboard are known to produce tonal qualities that are warm and rich, making them ideal for use in acoustic instruments. The neck is sturdy and provides well-defined, focused harmonics with strong sustain and ample resonance. Meanwhile, its walnut fingerboard offers midrange-heavy voicings that complement the nyatoh perfectly, resulting in a balanced sound overall. These qualities give the AEWC12 a distinct voice that is both expressive and versatile, making it an excellent choice for many different playing styles.
And with such an incredible tone comes an equally beautiful playing experience. Its comfort grip nyatoh neck contour provides exceptional playability, allowing you to perform for longer periods without experiencing discomfort or fatigue in your hands. The nyatoh is topped with a silky satin polyurethane. This finish ensures that your hand glides effortlessly for faster and more accurate fretting. Execute complex chords and riffs with ease.
What's more, thanks to the walnut top-loading bridge, string changes have never been so easy. This design doesn't require bridge pins, eliminating the frustration and time-consuming task of aligning the string and pin, allowing you to spend more time playing your guitar and less time struggling with the setup. An effortless and inspiring playing experience for creating the sound you're after.
