I purchased this new from Ikebe Gakki several years ago. I use it only a few times a year, if that. I basically kept it racked and haven't taken it out, so there are no noticeable scratches. I think it's in beautiful condition. The VU display still has the protective sheet on it from when I bought it, so there are no scratches. There are no issues with USB control or any of the terminals. (I haven't used them much.) I haven't registered it with the manufacturer. It comes with a warranty, so you can rest assured after purchase. The included accessories are the original box, AC cable, and warranty.
