--><!-- What does B-stock mean? Every now and then we receive an instrument from our workshop with a visual imperfection. The instrument might have a small nick, scratch or a discoloration in the varnish. These visual issues do not affect the performance or playability of the instrument. However, we would never put these instruments into our regular inventory. Just like every other Fiddlerman instrument we sell, this instrument is set up by our talented luthiers and is covered by our warranties. We have a limited stock of these instruments. Every instrument has a different imperfection.
