I got this w/o the neck 20+years ago,so I've never seen it under string tension.The top is quite clean w/no cracks in the spruce or finish,just a few marks from play wear.The bridge,,rosette and braces show no signs of damage or repair.There is what appears to be a small finish crack on the back of the bowl corresponding to the front edge of the neck block.I cant see any evidence of it on the inside of the bowl and the large wood neck block seem to be fine.I couldn't get a clear shot of it,so I point it out in one of the photo.s with a piece of tape.There are a few other minor marks on the bowl,again,typical of normal usage.Overall it's in vy good + condition and is worthy of being restored, rather than waiting for me for another 20 years.$125.00/bo plus shipping.
