About the product: This is a semi-high-end mandolin from Suzuki Violin, the largest manufacturer in the mandolin world. With similar specifications to other companies' products, it offers excellent cost performance, easily costing over 250,000 yen. The difference from the top-of-the-line M-150 is the presence or absence of ornamentation and the headstock design. The top and back feature flame maple, making it a beautiful instrument to both look at and play. About the sound: It has a complete sound that rivals the top-of-the-line M-150, with a clear and beautiful resonance that carries far. The technical skill that allowed them to be an OEM for high-end Shimada mandolins is no joke. About the condition: It is in beautiful condition, with only one barely noticeable mark depending on the light (see photo 16). The string height is approximately 1mm at the 1st fret and approximately 4mm at the 12th fret, with a slight forward bow, but this should be manageable with bridge and nut adjustments. The neck joint, which is prone to damage, is not deteriorated, and the frets have about 70% life remaining. Please check the photos for details. The tuning pegs are also of high precision and function without issue. It is carefully and robustly constructed and can still be used for many years to come. Recommended for those in school clubs or those who want to start mandolin as a hobby with a step-up instrument. Accessories: Dedicated hard case Shipping: Will be shipped via Yamato Transport, with bubble wrap over the dedicated hard case. Notes: Please examine the photos carefully as there may be overlooked scratches.
