You must first call TAYLOR GUITARS to obtain a return authorization number and then send the amplifier to TAYLOR GUITARS at 1900 Gillespie Way, El Cajon, CA, 92020, to the Attention of the Repair Department, listing the RA (return authorization) number on the outside of the box. Shipping and insurance must be prepaid by the original purchaser.
