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 G4M 638 Baritone Electric Guitar in Blackout is built for players who want lower tunings without stepping into bass territory. With a 27" scale length and baritone setup straight out of the box, it delivers added low-end weight while keeping the feel and finger positioning familiar to guitarists.
This makes it a solid choice for heavy rock, metal and alternative styles that rely on tight, defined lows. A satin-finished maple neck with a comfortable C-profile, extra jumbo frets and a stable Tune-O-Matic bridge helps keep everything playable and in tune across the fretboard.
Product Ref: 334870
The G4M 638 Baritone is tuned to B standard, with the lowest string being the B below a regular six string guitar, offering a familiar six-string layout with the same string intervals but a deeper sound. Whether you're coming from guitar or bass, this format makes it easy to drop into extended tunings without completely relearning your instrument.
The 27” scale length keeps low notes tight and responsive, paired with .013–.062 strings, it delivers the tension you need to stay punchy in the lower registers. This makes it ideal for players exploring heavy, slow, or experimental styles that demand more sonic depth than a standard guitar can deliver.
Dual ceramic humbuckers give the 638 Baritone a bold, modern voice that works well with distortion and low tunings. These pickups offer enough output to stay aggressive, but with enough clarity to define each note, especially important when working in the lower frequencies.
Whether you're using it to fill out a mix, replace or double a bassline, or push riffs into new sonic territory, the pickups offer a clean foundation without needing excessive EQ or gain shaping. A simple control layout, just volume, tone and a 3-way switch, keeps things efficient.
The hardware on the 638 is chosen to handle the physical demands of low tuning. A fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge and string through ferrules keeps intonation locked in, and individual saddles make setup precise across all six strings, essential when tuning outside of traditional ranges. With die-cast tuners and chrome hardware throughout, the setup is stable, serviceable, and easy to dial in for whatever tuning or gauge you want to run.
Despite the extended scale, the G4M 638 plays fast and comfortably thanks to its satin-finished roasted maple neck and modern C-shaped profile. The flat 16” fretboard radius and extra jumbo frets make note articulation and bending feel natural, even on heavier strings, while the roasted maple is ultra comfortable under the fingers. This is a neck that feels familiar to most guitarists and is built to handle the demands of lower tunings without compromise.
With a strong commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience, G4M offers a broad range of premium spec, high-quality instruments and technology across guitar, keys, live and studio categories.
