I purchased this guitar used in May of this year, but I'm selling it to organize my collection. I was using it until recently. There are no issues with the sound. It's light and easy to play, so I used it more often than my main guitar for practice. I took it to a music store immediately after purchasing it and had it fully adjusted. At that time, I had coated strings (Elixir Optiweb 09-42) put on. They should still be usable, but please replace them if you're concerned. A soft case is included. The stand was only used for the photos and is not included. Thank you.
