This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly from the manufacturer. It is NEW Stock that has never been owned. Pictures are of the actual guitar you will receive.

A "B-Stock Guitar" is a guitar that won't have structural or playability issues but could possibly have some particular minor cosmetic flaw which can keep it from passing the rigorous inspection process put in place by the guitar manufacturer. These guitars do not come with manufacture warranty.

we will have our licensed tech go over the guitar and set it up for you. I personally did not see the blemish on this one when I looked over it. However, just because I did not notice it does not mean there is not a small cosmetic flaw somewhere. Wherever it is, it is small in nature. (see pictures)
