There are some minor scratches and scuffs from use, but overall, it's a very clean instrument that doesn't show its age.

There are no cracks or splits, and no repairs or adjustments are needed. It has been restrung with new strings, so it's ready to play immediately after tuning.

The neck is straight.

Position markers have been applied, but they can be removed if desired.
