World-Class Warranty on Every New Purchase
Most new items at Vintage King include a FREE extended warranty. If the manufacturer offers one year, you get two. If they offer five, you get six. We add one year to the standard manufacturer warranty at no charge, no registration required.
This isn't a gimmick — it's a commitment Mike and Andrew Nehra made when they started Vintage King. They'd bought broken, incomplete junk for their own studio and swore they'd never let that happen to a customer.
The Vintage King Promise
In the early days of Vintage King, owners Mike and Andrew Nehra would buy vintage gear for their recording studio and often receive broken and incomplete junk in need of repair.
When Vintage King became a retailer, they made a pledge to never let that happen to any of their customers. Not once. That's why Vintage King offers an industry-leading level of technical service and warranty support — the likes of which has never been surpassed.
Every used and vintage item is serviced by our in-house tech team before it ships. Every new item gets an extra year of warranty coverage at no cost. This isn't a marketing claim — it's the founding principle of the company.
Three Levels of Protection
Every tier starts automatically at the time of purchase.
Manufacturer Warranty
Full manufacturer coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. Term varies by brand — typically 1 to 5 years.
- Original defects covered
- Parts and labor included
- Authorized service centers
VK Extended Warranty
Vintage King adds one free year on top of the manufacturer term. Same coverage, same protection, zero extra cost.
- Automatic — no registration
- Same terms as manufacturer
- VK Tech Shop backs every claim
ADH Protection Plan
Accidental Damage and Handling coverage from Extend. No-deductible protection against drops, breaks, and spills.
- Speaker drivers, mic capsules, tubes
- Drops, breaks, and spills
- Extends to cover mechanical failure after manufacturer warranty expires
ADH Plans by Extend
Available on most new and VK-serviced used items for a low cost proportional to the price of the equipment. Plans start at the time of delivery and last the full purchased term.
Drops
Accidental falls and impacts
Breaks
Physical damage to enclosures and components
Spills
Liquid damage to electronics
Speaker Drivers
Blown drivers from accidental overload

If your ADH plan lasts longer than the manufacturer warranty, it also covers mechanical and electrical failure once the manufacturer term expires — functioning as a true extended warranty.
