Found this in a pawnshop didn't grab it imgur.com/a/v3bh8$499 with case. Wonder what it would cost to make it look like a Gibson again!

Agreed with John. WAY too much work, even if you got it for $250, you're looking at least $750 in work, maybe $1000. Needs to be fully stripped, wood examined for and repaired in case of any dry rot. OEM parts or cloned replacements would need to be sourced. Replacement decal (pronounced Dee cal not deckle) LOL from Gibson, preferably unless that guy from Kalamazoo (not naming names) still has some hidden away that he'll sell one of. Then a refin which will cost at least $500 Just walk away, ericn and let some kid buy it who thinks he's getting the deal and find of a lifetime!

"Too much lacquer" might explain what was in his glass when he picked up the spray can.
