Samick Samick Greg Bennett SMS100VS Archback Sunburst Acoustic Guitar - Vintage Sunburst

THIS GUITAR WAS SOURCED THROUGH MIRC (musical instrument reclamation corp

MIRC partners with musical instrument manufacturers to refurbish stringed instruments including overstocks, discontinued, blemished, and in some cases instruments in need of repair.

Each instrument is sent through MIRC’s certified shop, where a professional team of luthiers and guitar/stringed instrument techs evaluate each instrument and, if needed, perform any adjustments or repairs.

Each instrument is then categorized accordingly and is distributed to the MIRC family of dealers.

Are these refurbished instruments stamped "used?"

Many MIRC guitars are gently stamped "used." This is an agreement that MIRC has with many of the manufacturers. For many, the "used" stamp is looked at as a sign of quality, giving confidence that a used instrument originating from MIRC has been properly set-up and refurbished by a professional tech.

Why is the serial number reassigned?

As in the case of the "used" stamp, many MIRC instruments are reassigned a serial number. This is an agreement MIRC has with many of the manufacturers and is also looked at as a symbol of quality.

Does every instrument from MIRC get stamped "used" and reassigned a serial number?

No, not all instruments from MIRC receive this treatment. It is dependent on the agreement MIRC has with each individual manufacturer.
