Comes in the original hardcase, that is in pretty bad shape, but still good protection when shipped.

If you would like more pictures or have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

The guitar has been fully checked, professionally set up, and is ready to play.



Shipping details:

The instrument will be shipped with DHL. If you want another currier, let me know. I use double walled cardboard boxes with enough suitable packaging material like bubble foil.
