Says it's a five string, but I only count four strings. Crappy pictures, but looks like a lovely wood color/grain.

These are sweet basses.

Not that this is a big deal, but to get the B-string to fit into the headpiece slot for the G-string, it would have to have been expanded in some way. There doesn't seem to be any close-up shots of the headpiece to see how cleanly this was done. Again, it's not a big deal. Even if it wasn't done super-cleanly, I don't see how it could have any adverse effects. It is also possible that the seller replaced the headpiece with a headpiece from a righty.

I recently sold mine for $600... it was newer and the cherry "burst" with quilted maple top though.
I was surprised I got that much, frankly.
