Hi, just picked up a new Squier Affinity HSS strat, red with black pick guard. I needed a backup guitar so I picked this one as I wanted some different tones and the ability to use alternate tunings etc. Anyways, got it home from the city, unpacked it... craftsmanship is pretty dang good, truss was accurate, intonation bang on, string height needed lowering and frets a little rough, but pretty happy with it. Plays and sounds great! Except..... I peeled the plastic off the pick guard and there are some noticeable blemishes on it. I looked around the Fender site to see if warranty would cover this, but only thing I can find is them saying to take it back to the dealer I bought it at. That isn't an option as we won't be going back to that city. Is there a contact I am missing? Or is the only option is to take it to a fender service centre? I was hoping they can just send me out a new guard. I could buy one, but meh... warranty is warranty. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Take it to the nearest guitar store that sells a stack full of fenders and they should be able to contact fender for you and sort it out. I wouldn't even stress about it though, your pickguard is gonna get scratched like crazy anyway and the blemishes will soon blend in with it. I know how you feel wanting to keep your guitar looking perfect but it helps just to realise that in order to get better you have to play and to play means to put up with reckless band mates dropping it or knocking it and stuff like that but oh well ahah, hope this helps ;)
