Taylor Warranty Info
The following text is excerpted from the Owner Registration Card that comes with each new Taylor
guitar sold in the United States and Canada. It is for information purposes only, and may not be
downloaded or printed out, nor is it to be used as a "proxy" warranty by owners of Taylor guitars. With
the exception of those limited-edition guitars for which a one-time transfer of ownership is explicitly
written into the Certificate of Authenticity, an actual Taylor warranty is not transferable from the
original owner to a subsequent owner, and does not cover Taylor guitars purchased outside the US or
Canada, where Taylor distributors assume responsibility for repairs and service.
To help protect your investment, Taylor Guitars provides this limited warranty. Please review it and
keep it handy. And if your guitar ever develops a problem you believe is covered under warranty, feel
free to call our service department with any questions you might have.
Though filling out and returning an Owner Registration Card is not a condition of the warranty, doing
so can help us confirm that you are the original purchaser. So, please take a few moments to fill it out
and mail it.
1) Terms and Conditions. TAYLOR warrants solely to the original purchaser of this TAYLOR musical
instrument that the instrument purchased shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship
under normal use for as long as the instrument is owned by the original purchaser, and until the
ownership of the instrument is transferred to another (unless otherwise noted by TAYLOR). This
Limited Warranty does not apply: (a) to wear or breakage of frets or strings, or other normal wear and
tear of the instrument or its parts; (b) to asserted defects caused by modification, misuse or abuse or
improper maintenance of the instrument; (c) to asserted defects involving subjective personal likes or
judgements; (d) to asserted defects caused by accident or exposure to extremes of temperature or
humidity which cause harm to the instrument; (e) to defects asserted by any purchaser who did not
purchase the instrument from an authorized TAYLOR dealer in the United States of America or
Canada; (f) to guitars owned by non-U.S. or non-Canadian residents, or (g) to electrical components
not manufactured by TAYLOR.
TAYLOR INSTRUMENTS PURCHASED OUTSIDE OF OR PERMANENTLY RELOCATED
FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA/CANADA ARE NOT WARRANTED BY TAYLOR
GUITARS. WARRANTIES FOR THESE INSTRUMENTS, IF ANY, ARE PROVIDED BY THE
AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR OR DEALER IMPORTING TAYLOR INSTRUMENTS.
2) Limitation on Obligations. The obligations of TAYLOR hereunder are limited to repair or
replacement of parts of the instrument found to be defective under this Limited Warranty. In no event
shall TAYLOR be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited
to time, wages or lost profi ts, of any nature or kind or for damages to or loss of property.

4) Claim Procedures. Unless purchaser is notified in writing that repairs and service under this Limited

excluded from this Limited Warranty, the instrument shall be returned without repairs or replacement,
shipping and insurance to be paid by the purchaser.
5) Legal Remedies. Depending upon the state in which you reside, you may have additional legal
remedies available under the applicable Commercial Code or Consumer Warranty laws.
Important Care Instructions
Your guitar is constructed from solid wood that was carefully dried and seasoned (The Baby Taylor,
Big Baby Taylor, and 100 Series have a solid top and laminated back and sides). Solid wood will
absorb moisture in wet climates and give off moisture in dry climates. If you live in a desert, high
mountain, or cold winter region, you will experience dry weather from time to time which could crack
your guitar. If not taken care of properly, your guitar will crack. This damage is very serious and is not
covered by this limited warranty, but can easily be prevented by storing your guitar in its case and by
using a sound hole humidifier.
