| This is a nice Made in USA MM68 in black with a hard case, which has a few scuffs from doing its job. Light play wear consistent with an instrument that has made a lot of music in its life but been generally well taken care of.
It has 2 very fine finish-only cracks radiating from the bridge screws, each less than an inch long. I tried to photograph them but couldn't get them to show up. They have most likely been stable for years.
When I got the guitar it needed a good cleaning, which I did as well as restringing it with Adamas mandolin strings. There are a couple of extra sets of strings in the case, along with a new Levy's black leather mandolin strap. It was really hard to get a clear pic of the label, but if you know what the USA labels look like you can tell the "New Hartford" wording is there in the fuzzy picture.
I got it a little while back but I've decided to refocus on playing bass so this is a distraction. I got a good deal on it since the seller didn't list it as a USA version so I'm going to try to pass it along here for what I have in it before sending it off to eBay. $600 shipped / PayPal'd / insured in the lower 48. Not interested in trades. Thanks for looking.
