This Vela is in very good shape. It plays perfectly and shows only a few minor dings and scratches, shown in pics. I purchased this a couple of months back, had a setup done immediately, and haven't had much chance to play it since. I went on a bit of a gear buying spree, and I need to let some go. It does not include the original gig bag. I didn't get one in the purchase, but I can add in a nice padded gig bag that is quite similar to the S2 bag. I'll add pics of it very soon.
