Refinishing a guitar w/ set-neck??

What'd it cost me? The looks of a guitar isn't priority for me, but the guitar I'm thinking of buying is frikkin' purple:rolleyes:

 

The neck and body are all mahogany, it's a n sg style electric. Would it cost me less if I stripped the paint myself? And do pro's usually charge depending on the particular color and type of paint?

 

If the wood looks good I'd like a 'natural' look, just transparant laquer to show the dark mahogany. Or maybe I'd go for black, but I'd rather have an unfinished neck. I never got how people could stand the sticky necks on gibsons.

 

I don't suppose it'd be a good idea to try and refinish the guitar myself? I'm confident enough to paint the purple finish myself, but I have zero experience with re-painting a guitar body, let alone a neck...

 

Gimme some advice please.

 

Cheers.

Thanks for the replies. No binding, not on the neck nor on the body.

 

Edit: Slightly OT, but if anyone here can tell me what a fair price would be for a '90s Gibson SG Jr(non-orig. finish, otherwhise ok), I'd really appreciate it.

 

Cheers.
