It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to this used product.

Condition 4 - Fair � Needs Repair

This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled repair work.
