What does a factory 2nd guitar really mean?
Factory 2nd guitars come directly to our refurbishing center from the manufacturer. They were never sold or shipped to a distributor or retailer. These guitars were marked 2nds by the manufacturer usually for a minor cosmetic flaw that would prevent them from being sold as a ‘new’ instrument. These guitars are otherwise in immaculate, like-new condition. It is often difficult to even identify why some of these guitars are 2nds. They will have ‘2ND’ lightly impressed on the back of the headstock.
