Scott, Honorable and conforming dealers always want to place the purchaser's name on the receipt. If it is to be a gift, the warranty would still be covered through the purchaser's name..so there is no problem..If it is sold and the original owner is out of the picture, than there could be a problem.. But as DanO suggested, distributors as Solton /Ketron , Lou, would probally honor a warranted problem, although he would not be obligated to do so..Courtesy goes a long way , both customer and dealer..
