[size=4]Virtually new and well below the retail price, I've only played it for a few hours and its never left the house. Nice Wilkinson hardware. On the fretboard there are some lighter patches, they were there when I got it and they cause no issues.

I have a cardboard shipping box and packaging so it should be safe in transit or you can collect from BB22SH. Package weighs approx. 6kg (including packaging) and measures 124x51x12cm[/size]
