Feb 22, 2009 · Our b-stocks are a little bit different. Some of them are warranty returns, most are cosmetic blems directly from the factory, but the difference with our guitars is that they go to an authorized refurbishing center first, where they are evaluated and repaired by highly skilled luthiers before being sold.

There are B-Stock and Blemished guitars. There is something not quite right with the guitar. I believe the B-Stock is a designation from the factory, and the Blem is designated by the store after a return for quality or something they found.

Before 1985' date=' Gibson sold B-stock guitars at a cheaper price. B-stock means it had a factory flaw, so, they couldn't charge full price for it.

I've got a B-stock. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the guitar' date=' it's mint! It was displayed at a guitar show and the case has some damage...so, because of that, it couldn't be sold as a "new" guitar and it was labeled as B-stock. The ones you're looking at on-line might have minor scuffs/scratches...nothing major [/quote']

I had heard that Gibson cuts their b-stock bodies in half before disposing of them. Supposedly, it's a move to ward off the dumpster divers.

Yeah, I've heard they feed them to a band saw. What a job that must be...

You'll find that it can be different depending one which shop you're at. Some places won't take anything off for a scratch/dent whereas others will have the tiniest mark and take lots of money off of the price

Be aware that AFAIK, if you buy a Epiphone 2nd ( that is stamped on the back of the headstock) I don't believe that there is ANY warranty coverage.

I was told a story that back in the late 70's Gibson had the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The 1st was the guitar with no problems, a 2nd had a finish flaw, and a 3rd had a technical problem of some sort. The guy said that had got a second in for a customer who wanted the lower price, but they couldn't find the finish flaw.
