This is a Prelude Model 106V, the year on the label is illegible because: Spray paint!! The belly is flat black, the back is sparkle black, and the ribs and scroll are gold. Does not affect the sound as far as I can tell! It's a good brand and there is a new carbon fiber bow. Selling cheaply because of the , uh, paint. Ready to play in lightweight case, comes with shoulder rest and rosin.
