3 ply Mahogany/Poplar/Maple Shells with Maple Reinforcement Rings
Clear maple interiors
Edges are all in decent shape for age/condition
Overall the set would be considered more of a 'players' condition.

The set has a bit of a smokey smell to it - We polished the shells in and out but it still remains and is worth noting.
