It takes a dealer who buys the guitar up front, then takes some risk on wear and tear as it moves from buyer to buyer. How many times have people passed on new guitars or demanded steep discounts because of some shop wear (dings and scratches)? Not matter how careful everyone is when handling it along the chain, in the end it becomes a well-used guitar. As a business owner, that is not a great way for me to tie up my capital. I love the concept and would happily partake if it was an instrument I was serious about buying.
