B-stocks mean that the guitar have a bit of defect on them,,
for example, a ding on the finish, or maybe just a loose screw on the pickup.

And from there the b-stocks are sold cheaper , because of the manufacturing defects.

There shouldnt be any wrong in buying them, but sometimes the defects might be more than what you see. Bad pickups, bad wiring or something along those lines.

Theres a risk, but unless if you can get the b-stocks 1/10th of the real price, then might as well get it and fix it lol.

Neh, there's nothing wrong with it.
Its just that the guitar might have defects, which may be overlooked, or may not.

I was just stating that there ARE defects, you wont know what they are.

If you're gonna practice in your bedroom, nothing wrong bout buying it
Heck even some people go for used 2nd/3rd hand and they dont mind the condition.
