Frequently asked questions

What is an open-box item?

An open-box item has been unboxed and may have been inspected, played, or returned by a previous customer, but is fully functional and complete. It typically carries limited or no warranty compared to factory-new stock.

Are the tone and electronics identical between these two?

Yes. Both units feature the same dual Magic Touch-Mini humbucker pickups, 2x volume and 2x tone controls, 24.75 scale length, and hollow-body spruce-top construction, delivering identical warm, articulate jazz voicing.

Will the open-box model show visible wear?

Open-box condition varies—cosmetic wear may be minimal or moderate, but the instrument is fully playable and structurally sound. Examine the specific unit in-store if possible before purchase.
