[Condition & Notices]
- Mechanical & Straightness Evaluation: Sourced from a private collection and tested under standard flat-surface roll verification. The shaft tracks cleanly and transitions fluidly without localized dynamic lift, structural wobble, or storage-induced warping, ensuring perfect directional execution over the bridge.
- Cosmetic Taper Evaluation: This is a pre-owned wood sport component showing standard play marks. Faint blue/green chalk dust coloration along the dynamic grain texture, natural finger-oil shading, and superficial micro-dents typical of normal leather-tip contact and bridge friction are naturally present. The wood matrix preserves uniform thickness with no deep structural grain cracks, joint thread striping, or ferrule separation.
- Technical Disclaimer: Because natural wood shafts are organic materials subject to subtle atmospheric expansion and contraction depending on ambient humidity, minor micro-variances from factory-fresh measurements are to be expected.
- Please thoroughly evaluate all provided high-resolution macro-photographs to independently verify joint alignment, ferrule integrity, and final cosmetic textures before purchasing. All technical specifications correspond to official licensed Predator historical factory data. All sales final.
