Thank you for viewing. This item was purchased from Shimamura Music about two years ago. I bought it but ended up hardly using it, so I am selling it. I never took it outside, so there are no noticeable scratches or damage. Also, I have replaced the strings for this sale, so you can use it right away. When shipping, I will pack it in a soft case. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items, as this is a used item and has been inspected by an amateur.
