Peace be upon you. The guitar is new, without a scratch, and its sound is good. But honestly, with your brother, I don't recommend it except for beginners, it's not professional. It's good for the first year, then you'll need to change it to something professional and expensive if you stick with it. If you want videos of the sound, send me a WhatsApp and I'll send them to you. (The phone number appears when you click the button)
