Could be like the B stock guitars that are rejected for minor flaws in the finish or something. At least on certain manufacturers, the serial numbers are over struck and sold in large lots to discounters who then resell them. If I looked over a new guitar and couldn't find the flaw, and it played and sounded fine, I wouldn't let it bother me.
I've seen B stocks that the flaw was as little as a slight pinhole sized fish eye or bubble in the finish on the back of the guitar.
To me, the savings over a brand new full priced instrument would make it very easy to over look such a flaw.
OP If you paid full brand new price, and they offered you a refund would they exchange it for a non QC rejected guitar?
