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. Many MIRC guitars are gently stamped "used." This is an agreement that MIRC has with many of the manufacturers. Are these refurbished instruments stamped "used?"
I wouldn't expect this stuff to set any quality records, but I like the name well enough.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.Įach instrument is then categorized accordingly and is distributed to the MIRC family of dealers. Designed with the player in mind, NGW’s goal is to provide quality music products that serve as a launchpad for your creativity." could have saved me some keystrokes, hahahaha!

after I typed all that I saw their "about" page. A smart move to go ahead and have a "new" product line/category to offer their existing clients. I assume the NGW brand is their first foray into their own private label stuff. It also helps smaller shops have the ability to put brand-name guitars on the wall without having to commit to $50k+ annual contracts for each line, while having the potential to offer them a bit more margin as well. It's a great business model and helps get blemished, etc instruments into folks' hands for less. They buy by the truckload 2nds/damaged/discontinued/etc guitars from brands like Fender, Squier, Ibanez, Epiphone, and many others and refurbish them for resale as "used." Part of their contract with the manufacturers is that they cannot leave the original SN on there so no one can send them back to the mfgr as a warranty claim, etc. When you buy a used instrument at a Mom 'n Pop or pawn show that looks basically brand new, but the original serial number has been removed/replaced, (15 years ago they put a gold sticker with a new SN over the original - I dunno what they're doing these days) it very likely came from MIRC.
