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.

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.
