this little solid body 4-string is in excellent condition. the point of the pickguard is cracked at the screw, and there's a tiny nick on the treble cutaway right where the neck joins. there is a scuffed area on the side by the controls. also, the decal on the headstock is a little deteriorated, but not bad. the rest of the mandolin is really nice. the neck is dead straight, and everything works perfectly. the original black case is in excellent condition, with just a little scuffing on the leather ends. the original case key is in it's little envelope, and it even has it's original leather strap.
i'm asking $1700. i'm open to offers, and i'd consider a partial trade for an 8-string lap steel. i have pictures i can email. thanks, john[This message was edited by John Rosett on 08 November 2004 at 01:04 PM.]
