Hey...any blems laying around the shop?
Can't hurt to ask I suppose....

I just didn't know what you guys do with your show guitars, etc...I'm assuming your employees buy them

do a search, but you'll find they are destroyed

Oh yeah, grade 'A' firewood. When we had the factory tour in 2005 I was just sick walking past the bins that had the rejects in it.

You'd be surprised how picky they are when it comes to the finished product. We heard the stories during the tour from Dudley about batches of wood being "ruined" and destined for the trash bin by a natually occuring mineral stain.

I "think" the NAMM guitars get picked up by dealers and such.

I believe that many NAMM guitars go to artists.

im sure various things happen to NAMM guitars. some may be off to an artist or 2, some into the vault some auctioned etc.

but "2nds" essentially dont exist cuz if something's wrong it will not leave the factory. QC baby, QC

Sometimes the NAMM guitar are auctioned off on the CLB.
