They aren't mint but are in very nice, very clean shape. The frettes has very few marks at all, the fretless has one tiny ding that is not very noticeable near the bottom. Also, the walnut has some marks in the figuring, and as the finish has shrunk the marks show in the glare a little, but I was told that is how wood goes sometimes and thought nothing of it. These may not be the players for you, but they are outstanding instruments, and are certainly going to be very collectable when thinking about Fodera's history.
The set will go for 14k USD, buyer pays shipping. International transaction are fine and I will let you know your costs prior to making a deal.
I have a ridiculous amount of feedback, here and ebay and I used to have my own bass trading website as well, so don't sweat the minor details, I am real easy to work with. You can always email me at lamarjones @ nc.rr.com if you need to.
