General
I am getting too many search results! How can I narrow it down?
Searching by the model name or manufacturer number helps narrow down large searches. These are sometimes available on the manufacturer website. If you're still having difficulty feel free to contact us!
What is a demo unit / "B-stock" / open box?
Our demo units are items that have been placed on display. There isn't any wear on these units.
"B-Stock" items are sent to us from the manufacturer as "seconds" or units with blemishes. Rarely we will receive electronics that are refurbished from the manufacturer.
Open box items are units that have been removed from the box for photo or first time look purposes. These items are in flawless condition.
What are "B-Stock" guitars?
Our B-Stock guitars are units that the manufacturer sends out with a blemish. The guitars never have less than perfect tone quality, but may have (very minor!) blemishes on the finish. After careful inspection, if we find anything at all, we document the blemish with a high resolution photo and will include it on the item description and also have it available on request.
