I bought this thinking I might alter it and make something unusual out of it, but I've decided that it's gonna be a little bit more work and ultimately not something I might use... It's in nice shape, considering its age. Yes, there are some separation on the back that will need glued but a pretty minor repair that even I could do, but I'm just gonna let the next person do what they want to it. The biggest issue is the nut and the bridge. Both need replaced to make it a standard mandolin again. Any local luthier could probably handle that job relatively affordably Please ask any questions. All sales are final
