This is a well loved Kent mandolin. The neck finish shows significant play time. The neck isn’t perfectly straight, but it’s still playable. I can see that the neck has a slight twist, but I can’t feel it when playing. The bridge has been adjusted to lower the action. It could still go lower, but that will be up to your preference. The finish shows quite a bit of checking. I find it to be beautiful. There are no cracks in the wood. The neck heel is solid and stable. The tuners are original and move well. The bridge and tailpiece are also original. Ships in a black gig bag.
