- A written request, stating the specific decal you need and the reason you need it.
- Your instrument.
- A photograph of the entire front of the instrument.
- A photograph of the entire back of the instrument.
- A close-up photograph of the headstock of the instrument showing the need for a new decal.
- A close-up photograph of the serial number on the instrument. FMIC stringed instrument product serial numbers are located either on the front of headstock, the back of headstock, the back of neck, the heel of the neck, the neck plate or the bridge plate.
The FMIC Service Center will examine your instrument and the photographs to verify that the instrument is actually in need of a decal, and that it is the same instrument represented in the photographs. They will then submit your formal request, your photographs, and a letter of verification that your instrument is indeed a genuine MIC product in need of a replacement decal, to our Customer Service Department here at MIC for review. If your request meets with the criteria we have established for decal replacement, a new decal will then be sent to your FMIC Authorized Service Center. Please be aware that our decal selection is limited to the types of decals we use in our current production. We do not have all decals, for all instruments, from all periods. If your request is approved, we will select the closest period-appropriate decal we have to fit your needs. While FMIC does not charge for replacement decals, the Service Center may assess you a service charge for processing your request and for applying the decal to your instrument.
FMIC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL VERIFICATIONS
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT YOUR INSTRUMENT IS A GENUINE FMIC PRODUCT.
