Hello - im looking for info/opinions on this one. Ive had this mandolin for quite some time. At a practice I (stupidly) laid it on a chair when I switched to guitar, and a mate got wound up on a tune, and did a wild, hootin back kick. Unfortunately the chair was right behind him, and the Kentucky took a spill. She landed on her butt.
-Couple of spots where its blemish only to the finish.
-the tailpiece seems to have gotten a little crooked.
-slight seperation of the top just to the left of tailpiece, i cant tell if its completely seperated or not. It hasnt moved in two years.
-Still plays just fine, although it has to be tinkered for intonation. its been about 2 years since the spill.
-gouges in the wood (tailpiece) are from previous owner who installed a dumb tailpiece.
-Is this worth trying to sell? I really dont want to get into a situation where someone wants to return it and that whole process, but I also do not need it any longer.
-Is it worth repairing? Seems like it would get expensive quickly.
