What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about the fretboard: its details table says Maple Wood, while manufacturer material says Purpleheart. The neck-material field is malformed and does not establish a specific maple type. The listed weight of 1 Pounds and dimensions are presented without further context, so verify that they describe the selected instrument before relying on them.
