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 E-II Horizon FR-II's body is crafted from mahogany and features a quilted maple top, enhancing the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft tone, with plenty of grind and bite to keep it well-balanced and create plenty of depth. The guitar's appealing high end and full, tight low end ensures the overall tonality remains thick and firm, offering plenty of dynamics to accommodate a variety of musical styles.
The ESP E-II Guitar is equipped with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple offers roundness to the tone, providing bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck's tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.
The ESP Horizon Guitar is equipped with a set of powerful, active EMG humbuckers, offering an incredibly versatile performance suitable for a variety of playing styles. The EMG 57 bridge pickup features a unique blend of alnico V magnets and steel pole pieces, delivering a beautiful PAF tonal quality which is designed for modern guitarists. The EMG 66 neck pickup offers tones inspired by the specific needs and requirements of contemporary players, featuring a combo of alnico V magnets and ceramic pole pieces to offer smooth mids, expressive lows, and excellent clarity in the upper register. The 57 and 66's push-pull pot technology also allows you to split their coils, creating unparalleled definition and single-coil sonic presence.
The guitar is finished off with high-end hardware to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. Built in Germany, the world-class Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo bridge offers an enormous, yet reliable range of motion, while maintaining maximum resonance and sustain. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduces string slippage, while the Dunlop straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
