Condition:

This instrument is in good, used condition. It has a lovely tone and beautiful wood grain. There is expected cosmetic wear from previous use, including some standard nicks, dings, and finish wear around the outer edges of the body (please see all photos for exact condition). There are no visible major cracks.

• Please Note - Missing String: The high E string is currently missing. The buyer will need to install a new E string or restring all before playing (though putting a fresh set of strings on any used instrument is highly recommended anyway).

• Note for Beginners: The fingerboard currently has a "Don't Fret" note indicator decal applied (along with some colored tape markings). This is incredibly helpful for new students learning finger placement, but it can be easily removed if preferred. The tailpiece is equipped with four fine tuners for easy tuning.
