The fine item you are considering is a Vintage Harmony Monterey 8 String Mandolin Missing Bridge & Strings. This neat vintage mandolin is in overall nice, solid shape, but it is missing its bridge and strings and someone has drilled two small holes in the head stock to apparently place a string through there and hang the instrument. The original tailpiece is still attached, so all you should need is a bridge and strings. Please see my photos to have a look at this nice item. Winning bidder/buyer pays $38.00 shipping and insurance in the contiguous U.S., plus $1.00 for packing materials (bubble wrap) with shipping to Alaska and Hawaii most likely costing more. If you are in Alaska or Hawaii, please contact me for a shipping estimate. Foreign bidders/buyers pay costs as per eBay's Global Shipping Program. Due to the large amount of items I now auction, I can unfortunately no longer allow in person pick up of items. My return policy is that returns are only accepted if I made a mistake in the listing, not disclosing a serious issue with the item, in other words, if the item is substantively different than as described in my listing. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding/buying!
