Wonderful shape! Case itself has some minor scratches on the outside but this is normal for any thermoplastic hardshell case. Instrument itself looks brand new & sounds awesome! You can find a ton of cheap chinese knockoffs on here but this is definitely NOT one of them! Fine quality at a price well below its retail & even re-sale value!!!!
RETAIL PRICE FOR THIS INSTRUMENT is $720.00!!!
Re-Sale Price (Quoted from "Everything Musical, Columbus, Georgia) $525.00
