I like this Axis derivative. My Axis has a body that I replaced with some not so expensive Humbuckers and it sustains more than a sustaniac. Its a bit heavy and the neck is thicker than a Les Paul. BTW the Sterling headstock is revolutionary because of the design which never needs string trees hence holds tune better.

Poor Mans
Majesty by John Petruccihttps://www.proaudiosta
Great Alternative to a Player Strat

Doesn't look like it but built for Shredders with a 12db Boost Push Push button. Uses a 9v battery just like the "Majesty"

Watch the Andertons video comparing the Music Man and Sterling version of Valentine

This is a MUST BUY for shredders.

I've only received one guitar from them that appeared new. But certainly could have still been a return. The other two I've ordered from them as open box, were definitely open box with some small issues. But thankfully I was able to fix them, and in the case of the acoustasonic save nearly $900. But it is a gamble.
I ordered one of the Orange Terror Stamps. We'll see how it is when it arrives.
2nd order was for 2 classic vibe guitars. They were listed as Open Box but arrived brand new factory sealed.
Just my experience on the 4 items I've ordered.
Open box should indicate a return, but no issues. B-stock could imply either return or factory item with minor or cosmetic issues. Used could be a return but lacks original packaging or accessories. However, I have no experience with buying any if those from here. Listing something as B-stock "could" be a way of discounting an item lower than what the manufacturer allows. It's just hard to be certain.
That said there are some great deals here on the more premium Sterling Music Man Guitars, James Valentine guitar and Sting Ray 34 bass especially. Orange Terror Stamp is also extremely tempting at $130 vs $200 new. Boss Katana 50 EX open box at $280 is pretty nice.

For years now, ProAudioStar has always had a huge selection of "used" and "open box" music gear, including recording gear like mixers and interfaces, at substantial discounts. If you're looking for something specific from a major brand, it's always worth checking them first.
"Sterling by Music Man" is different than the Music Man Sterling bass, which is an American-made bass that looks almost exactly like a Stingray. Yes, it's confusing!

Only ONE of them *might* have been new in box. The others were all clearly returns with minor issues.

I recently bought a b-stock Sterling Ray 4 bass from a local shop, and it had to be sold as used- even though I was the first person to actually own it. There is a bit of paint that got on the tip of the headstock, and then a very small dent on the back of the neck at the 3rd fret- neither of these impact the playability of the bass in any way. It was priced at about a 33% discount from the same model as new, so I feel like I got a steal of a deal on it.
