Thank you for viewing. I received this item, and as I am an amateur, I don't know the details, but I believe it's in very good condition for something from 1974. I was told it is in working condition. One string was broken, so I've replaced it with a substitute (see image). The strings can still be used for practice, but I recommend replacing them for recording or live performances. There is a shallow surface crack on the top of the body. It's only on the surface and doesn't go through to the body, so it doesn't affect playing. Please understand this before purchasing. Please check the condition in the images. [Included Items] Two picks will be included. Everything in the images is included. [Packaging] Will be packed with bubble wrap. [Shipping] Will ship immediately after purchase. Type... Mandolin
