The title says it all. I'm no shill, just thought there were some pretty cool instruments. Check out the lefty six string bass!

A few of those demo prices were not bad, but with a demo you never know, just like with any used instrument.  One of my main amps was a demo.

Most of them remind me of the crayons my sisters would leave in the car and melt.

My problem is not so much with the 60s retro look as with the fact that you never know what an in-store demo model has been through, although like I said, I did buy my amp like that.

I suppose I should be happy that someone thought of doing a retro model of the Hurricane, but it is SO FAR away from the original.

They are the importer. They say floor model demos but AFAIK they're not a retail store. I would guess these include guitars he has taken to guitar shows to demonstrate, as well as some customer returns and B-stock.

From everything I've heard, it's a reputable company.

I was wondering about that.  Nevertheless, a floor demo model can be fine if you get lucky.  Besides my amp, I know a guitarist who bought a Marshall at a really low price ten years ago that was a floor model, and it's still working great.
