What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While Certified Open Box items from Fender do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!

Yesterday we swapped the Gen4 for the aging Torres wound pickups in my trusty MN5. Great tone! Installation was simple and the Gen4 came with screws and rubber hollow suspension. Also included a 2 page installation overview.

I had Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups in my Fender Tele Pro II, but unfortunately, the neck pickup, which I always use, went open circuit. This is the first pickup failure I've ever had on any guitar. Is that luck? Anyway, since I had to replace it, Rob Kramer, my sales engineer, recommended trying the Fender Gen 4 noiseless pickups this time. It took me about 20 minutes to install them and I was pleasantly surprised. They actually sound crisper and seem to have a better overall tone response than the Vintage Noiseless pickups. Since I primarily play clean, I can't tolerate any 60hz hum that is inherent in the standard single coils like the Vmod II pickups that the guitar originally came with. For me, noiseless pickups are a must, and these Gen 4's are a perfect fit for my style of playing.

My 2013 Fender FSR MIM Tele came with some hot ceramic pickups, I liked them, but the neck pickup was too muddy and the bridge lacked a little bit of twang for me (they were great with a little bit of gain tough). I already had a Fender Deluxe Player's Stratocaster with vintage noiseless pups (wich I love) so I decided to get the Gen 4 Noiseless for my tele, plus some locking tuners and a better string tree.
The Gen 4 Noiseless Pickups sound great! They sound very rich and are really versatile. I'm completely satisfied (although they are a little bit more complicated to setup comparing to other single coil pickups).

I stepped away from guitar for a long time to play bass. I decided that I wanted to play the 6 string again and found the Vintera II Nocaster to be extremely comfortable as I have become accustomed to larger necks from playing bass.

These pickups push it over the top, they sound so dang good. This is my first time playing a tele style guitar and I can see I've been missing out. I'm grateful for the experience every time I plug in.

I swapped out the stock pickups in a new Jet 350 and the guitar came alive! I highly recommend for replacing Squier or similar lower cost instruments. You'll be extremely happy with the tone plus no noise. Amazing pickups! Definitely worth the upgrade investment.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
