Guitar insurance FAQs

Is guitar insurance worth it?

Whether you’re considering guitar insurance as a professional or on behalf of a young learner, it’s recommended that you have cover in place to limit any costly repairs or replacements further down the line.

Your child might be on the move, you might be attending regular sessions, or you might work as a professional, requiring insurance for electric, bass or acoustic guitars. Alternatively, you may be a collector who requires guitar insurance to protect heritage guitars.

You can take comfort in our ongoing dedication to the music industry, thanks to our partnerships with charities like the Independent Society of Musicians (ISM), the Young Classic Artists Trust (YCAT) and the European String Teachers Association (ESTA). These partnerships help us to cement our knowledge in the field, allowing us to give you the best experience possible when acquiring guitar insurance.

While musical instruments can be insured under home insurance, that doesn’t mean they should.

Musical instruments like guitars deserve specialist care and attention. It’s always best to insure your precious instruments with specialists, like us. What’s more, a standard home insurance policy may pay out far less than the value of your guitar (especially if you have a heritage collection), leaving you not only doloroso but out of pocket too.
