The nut mounting area has been uniquely modified, so it is being sold as junk (see photos). It will be playable after the nut is installed. Please consider this item only if you are able to perform maintenance yourself. Made in 2005, it shows some signs of use, but the body is in relatively good condition for its age. It will be shipped in a hard case, but some of the hardware is loose, so consider it as padding/protection.
