It has some battle scars, most noticably in the last picture, where the finish has chipped right down to the wood, and which the previous owner appears to have attempted to hide by colouring it in with a Sharpie.
It plays nice, and it sounds very nice. In general it's a good quality instrument, I just find the 5 string neck too wide for my relatively little hands.
I'd prefer local pickup, so there's minimised risk, but I do have a box so can ship if you'd prefer.
Shipping is as stated in the sale, and no alternatives will be entertained, so please don't ask if you can arrange your own courier.
