WARRANTIES
At Overdrive Guitars we take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

We try to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary and service parts that keep the item functional. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving. Overdrive Guitars cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
Due to the age and nature of vintage second hand equipment, Overdrive Guitars cannot offer any warranties on the Products it supplies, other than the statutory 14 day cooling off period as detailed in the section ‘Consumer Rights’.

OUR REFUNDS POLICY
• If you decide to change your mind within the fourteen day cooling-off period in accordance with the distance selling regulations, we will process the refund due to you as soon as we receive the Product and it is found to be in the condition in which it was dispatched. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of dispatching the Product. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
• If you claim that the Product is defective, we will examine the returned Product to confirm the defect identified by you. If we acknowledge the Product defect, we will then contact you to discuss the next steps and agree a course of remedy. If a refund is applicable we will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a period of 14 days, this is necessary in case we have to consult experts to verify the product defect.
