There appears to be a crack along the center seam from the bridge to the bottom. It may just be a finish crack, but something to ask about. If it is into the wood, has it been repaired/cleated?

The high-gloss finish makes me wonder if it has been oversprayed. I've worked on bunch of these, and most aren't that shiny. Not a big issue on a player grade instrument, in fact it might be a good thing to stabilize the finish, but if it has been oversprayed, that should be disclosed.

I agree with others that the price is a bit high.
