Purchased new in Tokyo several years ago. The photos are all that's included. No returns or exchanges. All parts are original. There is some rust around the gold hardware. The 1st string tends to slip off the fretboard slightly. This has been the case since I purchased it. There are also scratches on the back, so please be aware of this if you are sensitive to such things. The truss rod has plenty of room left. This item did not come with a hard case, so it will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a cardboard box. Please note.
