PRS Guitars warranty for guitars & basses
The short version
PRS Guitars doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole guitar and electronics and hardware covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 9 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From PRS Guitars's published warranty, checked October 2026.
