i paid 300 for this new, and didnt get to play it at all, because i accidentally lost half of one of my finger tips, bone exposed and all that grossness, and soon after i moved to a quiet neighborhood that wouldn't appreciate if i plugged in even after my finger healed..it will come with a hard case that i found at Goodwill, but its really for a bass guitar. But it still works to protect it ..the old lady that lives next door is sick ,and im sure ill never get to jam out, so ill just sell it and buy a new one, if i ever move away to somewhere where i wont bother neighbors with noise.. CASH only in person sale near Nutty Brown rd in SW Austin Texas,,i will not ship ..
