Condition Fair condition, fully functional and sounds great. There are numerous visible cosmetic marks across the body, including scratches, scuffs, lacquer chips and small dings on both the top and back. The finish on the neck also shows some wear. These signs of use do not affect the instrument’s structural integrity or rich 12-string tone.
