Frequently asked questions
What does B-Stock mean and how does it affect playability?
B-Stock indicates the guitar has cosmetic imperfections—such as minor finish blemishes, dents, or open-box wear—but is fully functional with no tone or structural compromise. Both instruments play and sound identically.
Are the electronics and pickups identical between both models?
Yes. Both feature the same two Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers with ceramic bridge and alnico neck pickups, controlled via push-pull switches, delivering identical tonal versatility.
Is there a warranty difference between new and B-Stock?
Typically, B-Stock items carry limited or no manufacturer warranty, whereas new stock includes full coverage. Check the retailer's B-Stock warranty policy before purchasing Product B.
Who should choose each: metal players, prog rockers, or studio users?
Both suit metal, progressive rock, and studio work equally well. Choose Product A for flawless appearance on stage or in band photos; choose Product B if cosmetic condition is irrelevant to your gigging or recording setup.
