Hey all,
I have been thinking of buying a Strandberg Fusion for a while now. I noticed that the Fusion NX-6 model, which has a regular retail price of 2,600 EUR on the brand's own website, is on sale at a seriously discounted price (2,000 EUR) on B-Stock. I am sharing the link to the specific model below.

My curiosity finally gave in and I sent the company an e-mail and asked what specific cosmetic flaws the B-Stocks of the model I was interested in had.
In the response, they stated that they had 3 of the model I wanted in stock, and shared the serial numbers of all three guitars and close-up photos of the defects on the guitars.
I eliminated one of the guitars because its body finish was defective, but I could not understand the exact nature of the defects on the other two guitars. You can find the photos below:
Guitar 1:
Guitar 2:
Although the guitar has a rosewood fingerboard, both flaws in the photos look like polish flake to me.
Do you think these guitars are in the B-Stock category because of poor workmanship that accidentally spread polish to an area that normally shouldn't have been polished? If so, I think these flaws can be fixed with a simple operation.
However, if the problem is not due to a simple polish error, what do you think the flaws seen in both photos could be related to? I think the guitar has a very nice color and exactly the configuration I want (tremolo, Suhr H-S-H pickup array); and the B-Stock price makes the guitar really attractive in my opinion (the guitar will be delivered within EU; I won't pay any additional shipping/customs etc.).
Your valuable opinions would really help me make a decision.
Thanks in advance.
