Bond Guitars Limited — Founders Boards Terms & Conditions

​

​

1. Definition of “Founders Boards”

The Founders Boards are a limited run of 10 individually numbered aluminium stepped fretboards, inspired by the original Bond Electraglide design.
This is a one-off, non-repeatable micro-edition.

​

2. Deposit & Payment Terms

• A £200 deposit secures one Founders Board and its allocated number.

• The remaining £199 balance is only payable once your board is completed and ready.

• Deposits are non-refundable unless Bond Guitars Limited cancels the project (see Section 7).

• A deposit does not constitute a sale until full payment has been received.

• ​

3. Allocation & Numbering

• Boards are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Numbers cannot be chosen or swapped unless offered by Bond Guitars Limited.

• Bond Guitars Limited reserves the right to reallocate unclaimed or unpaid slots.

• ​

4. Production Timeline

Bond Guitars Limited is currently finalising machining partners for this run.
No fixed delivery date is guaranteed at this stage.

Estimated timelines will be provided once machining is confirmed, but all timelines are indicative only and may change due to engineering, finishing, or supplier factors.

​

5. Specifications

Every Founders Board will be manufactured to the Bond Electraglide stepped design using:

• 6082-T6 aluminium

• Hard anodised matte black finish

• Original headstock-end geometry

• Flat underside

• Crisp un-softened tread/riser edges

• Laser engraving

• Certificate of Authenticity

Minor aesthetic variations may occur due to machining or anodising processes. This is normal for small-batch UK manufacturing.

​

6. Changes to Specification

Bond Guitars Limited may make non-material adjustments required for:

• Manufacturing feasibility

• Anodising consistency

• Structural integrity

• Safety

• Component compatibility

These will not affect the functional stepped design.

​

7. Cancellation by Bond Guitars Limited

If Bond Guitars Limited must cancel the Founders run (for example: supplier failure, machining issues, material constraints), all deposits will be refunded in full.
This is the only circumstance where deposits are refundable.

Bond Guitars Limited is not liable for any additional losses, costs, or consequential damages arising from cancellation.

​

8. Customer Cancellations

If you choose to cancel after securing a slot, the £200 deposit is non-refundable, as materials, machining, and allocation depend on confirmed numbers.

​

9. Ownership & Intellectual Property

All designs, drawings, CAD files, stepped geometry, and Bond Electraglide features remain the exclusive property of Bond Guitars Limited.
Purchasing a Founders Board does not grant any licence to reproduce, modify, or commercially exploit the design.

​

10. Use & Responsibility

Founders Boards are supplied as a precision-milled component intended for installation by a qualified luthier or guitar technician.
Bond Guitars Limited is not responsible for:

• Incorrect installation

• Damage caused during fitting

• Modifications

• Non-standard neck compatibility​

11. Communication & Updates

All official updates will be sent via email to the address provided at checkout or reservation.
