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.

Key Features
The Hartwood Mandolin, Vintage Sunburst is an eight-string acoustic instrument suited to producers, folk musicians and players exploring traditional mandolin sounds. Its solid spruce top and maple body work together to produce a bright, articulate tone, making individual notes and strummed chords easy to distinguish. Two F-holes help project the instrument's natural acoustic sound, whether you're practising at home or playing alongside other musicians.
The maple neck features a soft V-shaped profile, giving your hand a comfortable grip as you move across the flat laurel fretboard. With 20 frets and a 13.8" (35cm) scale length, there's plenty of room to explore melodies, chords, and different playing techniques. An adjustable ebony bridge lets you fine-tune the string height to suit your preferences, while D'Addario medium gauge strings provide a balanced playing response. Finished in vintage sunburst with cream detailing, this A-style mandolin combines traditional looks with practical features for everyday playing.

The combination of a solid spruce top and maple body gives this Hartwood mandolin a bright, defined acoustic character. Spruce responds well to changes in picking dynamics, allowing you to bring out softer passages or add more attack when playing energetic melodies. Meanwhile, the maple construction contributes clarity, helping individual notes remain distinct during faster picking patterns and chord work. The traditional F-holes allow sound to resonate through the body, giving the instrument its familiar mandolin voice. Whether you're learning your first tunes or working on more intricate arrangements, this combination offers a responsive sound that suits a variety of playing styles.
Getting comfortable with an instrument makes practising that bit easier. The Hartwood Mandolin features a maple neck with a soft V-shaped profile, providing a defined but gentle contour for your fretting hand. Its flat laurel fretboard offers a consistent surface for playing chords, picking individual notes, and moving between positions. You'll also find 20 frets across the 13.8" (35cm) scale length, giving you space to explore melodies higher up the neck. White position markers make it easier to find your place on the fretboard, particularly when learning new patterns. And with its compact dimensions, the mandolin is easy to handle during longer practice sessions.
Small adjustments can make a noticeable difference to how an instrument feels. That's why the Hartwood Mandolin comes fitted with a floating ebony bridge that allows you to adjust the string height, useful when setting up the instrument to match your preferred playing style. Its eight strings are arranged in four pairs, with D'Addario medium gauge strings providing a balanced combination of tension and response. The tuning machines feature cream-coloured buttons, giving you individual control over each string when tuning. Together, these practical details help you maintain a comfortable setup for chord playing, melodic picking, and regular practice.
With its rounded A-style body and vintage sunburst finish, this Hartwood mandolin takes inspiration from traditional acoustic instrument designs. The warm amber centre gradually darkens towards the edges, highlighting the shape of the body and complementing the cream binding. Two F-shaped sound holes, a contrasting dark bridge, and cream tuning buttons complete its classic appearance. At just 70cm long and weighing approximately 0.85kg, it's compact enough to handle comfortably and transport between practice sessions. The body measures 36cm in length and 27cm across, giving you a manageable instrument for playing at home, rehearsing with friends, or joining an acoustic ensemble.
Hartwood's carefully developed range of electric and acoustic instruments offers exceptional quality and sound. Honing in on the finest components, tonewoods and construction techniques, each Hartwood model has been designed to evolve with you and your music. With both classic and contemporary designs, Hartwood guitars are suitable for all musicians, no matter your style.
