Hi,I'm new here,joined cause I traded for a Blue Angel and it's the most interesting? amp I've ever owned and I wanted to find out what I could about em.As far as B stock guitars,I've owned a few and was completely satisfied with em.They had minor cosmetic issues only,nothing structural,and the shops I bought em from were completely up front about em.One was a Les Paul TV Special,had an 1/8th inch paint issue on the back you've gotta look for.I love the guitar.I'm lefty,and been in it since the 60,s,and when you find a good lefty,you better jump on it.If you're straight up about the flaws,and can come up with some kinda return policy people won't take advantage of,it sounds like a good idea.I'd buy one.I recently found a Les Paul Heritage Plus AAA top,and I wish it had a few flaws.$2300 is a lotta clams.Good Luck if you decide to do it!!!!
