Thank you for viewing. I purchased this two years ago and have only used it a few times. There are no major scratches, but some minor ones can be seen. I have not made any modifications. I am a beginner, so I apologize, but I cannot answer specialized questions. I will put it in a soft case and then pack it in a cardboard box for shipping. *To prevent any problems, we do not accept returns, so please understand this before purchasing.
