Hello and thanks for looking..This guitar is so fun to play..Especially when you first practice on this guitar and then move up to your regular guitar..It's like when you throw a basketball and then throw a baseball, the adjustment creates better hand skills..The strings have been changed and honestly, it holds about 100-200 playing hours of use, so it's pretty new..The Blackstar gig bag and the perfect foldable mini-stand are included!  Good luck and bid with confidence, the item will be shipped with care!
