Ageeb Naseef Oud for Sale

I have an oud by Ageeb Naseef. A little over a year ago, I restored it.
Body, neck and peghead are Padauk
Fingerboard is Ebony
Soundboard is Spruce
Repaired two cracks in the soundboard with spruce. Not the greatest looking repair in the world but they are solid. When I got it there were thick patches on the backside of the soundboard and the splits were open. I removed them, widened the area and inlayed new spruce soundboard from StewartMac. Visible on left side in first photo and more clearly in the 3rd from last photo.
Resurfaced the fingerboard.
Relplaced the nut with bone.
Replaced the thick armrest with a thin laminated maple stained black.
Replaced the thick pickguard with a thin laminated maple stained black.
Refinished the neck, body and peghead.
Replaced and reset the pegs with Ebony pegs from Jameel.
Restrung with Pyramid Custom based on advice from Matthias and ordered from Jameel.
Added a tail end piece.
Added a bracelet.
It is a good beginner to intermediate oud (I think).

Two strings are broken in my misguided attempts at tuning and playing (which I never learned to do). I found that I enjoyed more working on it (and have since gone on to making flutes).

Sorry no sound files since I can't play the damned thing. No shipping either as all I have is the cheap soft case that came with it. Pick up only. I live in Southern California area (I am in between Orange County and LA).

Asking $500. Will consider offers. It's possible that I am way off-base on the price. If so I would appreciate corrections from any of the veterans here.

I also have a Juzek Tools Single Peg Shaver and matching PegHole Reamer - $50 for the two Cost me $80 if I recall plus whatever shipping was. I have photos if any interest in those.

Thanks,

Ron
