You ask if it’s worth it and then you don’t do anything except look at it. How does it sound? Are there sharp fret ends? Do the volume and tone controls move normally? Do the pots crackle? How is the action? You didn’t tell us anything here other than that the finish looks nice.
B stocks are not related to "QC issues". They are returns or demo instruments. Given the unproblematic free return policy Thomann offers, customers can order guitars just out of curiosity or select one out of several finishes and return the others, making them B-stocks. So while the return reason could have been minor flaws, it must not be. B stock started as A stock, which is not a promise of perfection either. These are cheap instruments and new models often come with design flaws.
Lucky you, mine was sent on a big box just with paper on it and sorrounded only with bubble wrap, unfortunately it has a noticeable ding on the flame veneer. Other than that it is an amazing instrument
Would buy a B-stock 99% of the time if possible. Most of the time they were showroom guitars and have been played umpteen times by umpteen people. These were instruments put forth to be the representative of the line. You just KNOW its quality.....or it was a shyte model that got sent back. It is a risk, but it is all warranty covered so your good either way.

They are more safer because theyve been sent back and double checked but might have few cosmetic flaws

Kinda looks like an indention on the belly cut toward the upper horn but may just be a dark spot in the finish.. Still no big deal.
So very nice 👍👍
