B Stock

Ok, so I don't quite understand.

What does Ibanez mean by B stock? Are they seconds?

To the company, B Stock is their stock of show guitars and endorsee guitars waiting for delivery/emergency need.

Thanks Rich! If places are selling B stock then, does this mean that maybe these guitars weren't either sent to the endorsee or didn't have emergency needs?

I ask because I found a few RG520's that popped up that are new and listed as B stock.

Thanks!!

Please remember that if you are buying from a store that is advertising as B-Stock then this could mean Blemished items. That is they have some flaw(scratch, dent etc...).

I thought blemished and items with damage were either used or called "seconds"

To an American B Stock would mean less than A stock, but to the "company" [which IS Japanese] B Stock has a different meaning

Thanks Rich!

I was curious because I found RG520's new that were listed as B Stock. I had one and loved it. I had to sell due to financial difficulties. And I was thinking about picking another one up.

yes, I was just saying that I've bought B-Stock from places(online music stores) and their definition of B-Stock were blemished items. Each store seems to have their own definition to their lingo used on the site to describe items in short.

I know nothing of the company or dealing over seas at all.
