I bought this mandolin to learn how to play, it's not my thing so im moving on. its in very good condition, there's a small crack in the finish on the neck at the base of the head stock, i had it checked out by a luthier, just cosmetic not any structural worries. and he did scallop the fret board, he suggested that , also I'm throwing some extras, strings, books,straps,and some picks, he also fitted a new saddle.
