This item was used with grip tape wrapped over it. The grip tape has deteriorated, so it is recommended to re-wrap it before use. *If you don't have grip tape, I can wrap it with a yellow GOSEN grip (used a few times, so it has some wear). Please let me know if you'd like me to. In addition, there is some dirt on the strap and tape residue on the tip, but as there were no major scratches on the wood, I have classified it as "no noticeable scratches or stains." Price negotiations are not accepted.
