10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

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:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

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.

Charactered maple body

The Rickenbacker 660 Semi Acoustic Guitar is constructed from charactered maple and fashioned into a distinctive and unique design to create a stylish instrument. This elegant maple body produces a tastefully complex and clean tone that has plenty of warmth to it, brightening up the top end and tightening the lows. Along with this guitar's natural tone, its elegant curved shape keeps the body lightweight, simultaneously providing a comfortable playability as well as additional access to those higher frets.

Finished with Rickenbacker's popular Fireglo wrap, as well as a classic chequered white binding and gold pickguard, the 660 will stand out from any crowd. Additional features include pearloid triangle inlays, Gotoh vintage-type tuners, and five knobs for the maximum creative tonal control.

Neck-through maple neck

The Rickenbacker 660 is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard attached to a maple neck for additional stability, offering a sleek visual aesthetic. The neck-through construction achieves an extraordinary amount of sustain. With a slim, sleek design and excellent low action, this neck-through design eliminates the need for a guitar heel and provides easier access to the higher frets.

In addition, the guitar's neck produces a tight and warm tone with the maple offering a snappy attack with sizzling highs and firm lows, whilst the rosewood helps keep the tone mellow and offers some sparkle to the highs and thickens up the lows. Another benefit of this type of neck construction is that it allows the guitar to stay in tune for longer, therefore eliminating the need to constantly re-tune during performances.

Toaster-top pickups

The Rickenbacker 660 is electronically engineered to the exact standards of the vintage reissue series, including the toaster top pickups for the ultimate authenticity. This duo of vintage single coil toaster top pickups yields a classic Rickenbacker jangly tone that is bright, clear and slightly deep. Each pickup is equipped with six individual Alnico magnets set vertically inside the coil giving you that classic sound. Their distinctive chime will sit well in any mix, and is an ideal choice for players who prefer a jangly tone.
