Do they get sent to a dealer? Do they end up on Ebay? Can you buy one?

I don't know all of the details, but I've heard that mostly they go to fill existing dealer orders...

First the instruments go back to RIC to be inspected for any NAMM show attendee abuse. If/when they check out fine, they polish them up and fill dealer orders, like CJ said.

The only part you missed was the disinfectant stage.

Well, that's a good thing, because I can always recall several skeevy people at the NAMM shows leaving gunk behind on the guitars from their grubby paws.

I guess the UV chamber cures more than just finishes!

Thanks, everyone!
Guess I will watch the dealer sites and see what shows up.

I managed to buy the 1996 AFG that was displayed at the 2006 NAMM show.

I have a 2010 NAMM 4004Cii FG. The grain in the two piece neck and body are the best I've seen in a RIC.

This sweet 4004Cii FG from NAMM '09 found it's way to me.
