I'm reading through this thread (slow day at work) and I'm shaking my head..
I own and have owned many headstock-repaired Gibsons over the years. Most were bargains and most were excellent players. My favorite 175 is a head-repaired '56. So here we have what by all accounts looks like a well-repaired vintage axe with mostly original parts, at exactly the right price: about 1/2 of retail, and the sellers' getting a really hard time. That over-spray dark-out is Very Very typical of repairs done, many of mine look exactly like that. That was the fashion years ago: lots of coats of overspray that naturally darken and hide the repair. Not fishy, just the common way things were repaired. I actually have a '67 SG special with head repair that's much more visible that this that I've been offered 1700 for.. (keeping it for now...great players).
Bottom line: Nice guitar at a very fair price. Don't like it? Ok, but why give the guy such a hard time? It is what it is..probably a really good player.
My credentials? About 1,000 good guitar deals over the past 20 years ...
