problem is most of those old gibsons need a neck reset just due to age... and that is costly. I had a 1950 j45 just like that and I sold it before putting that money in to reset the neck. Unless you know and trust someone to do it correctly, it can be risky. Plus it looks like that one has had a rough life... Id pay $500 if the neck was glued on and straight, and still somewhat playable ( decent action). Im sure it sounds great as it has that old wood.
