I bought it new in 1978 and used it until 3 years ago.
There is some tarnishing on the metal parts, but I wiped it with a cloth after playing and put it in a case, so it is overall clean as you can see in the pictures.
There is a pencil mark on the head and a chord holder for pickups, a tape mark on the back of the head to prevent the 5th string from sounding too loud when picking with a claw hammer, and Velcro tape used when installing the volume controller on the resonator.
The slide capo was installed at the time of purchase.
A capotast for banjo and a bridge each will be attached.
The instrument will be shipped in a hard case, wrapped in plastic wrap, and packed in cardboard.
