Just bought it, can't wait to play it. Mint, brand new except for damaged bridge. I can probably repair the bridge to be usable, but I would like to find another bridge. I see plenty available on ebay from China, which is probably close to original, but is there an upgrade bridge that is available somewhere? Has to be a radiused saddle. The mando has never been played from what I can see. It's a 2017 model with a serial starting with "1711".
By the way, I just got a 2011 KM-160 several days ago but this 270 popped up, and it is almost exactly the mando I was looking for to begin with. I really wanted a KM-276 with the brown finish, or perhaps a 272 with the amber finish. But I got this 270 for about half off from new price because it needs a bridge. Only thing is, I promished the wife I'd liquidate the KM-160 plus some other instruments if she said yes to the KM-270. No problem, I need to sell some anyway.
