This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly purchased from the manufacturer Spector. 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.
This is B-Stock we believe due to what we believe may be a finish crack but, it blends in very well to the finish but looks like the source of it comes from one of the screws from the back plate. Thankfully this does not affect playbility and is very tough to see. (see pictures) While we strive to document all cosmetic details accurately, please note that there may be other minor blemishes we did not notice—these would be very small in nature and not affect the instrument's performance or playability in any way.
