My dad just picked it up cheap. Seems like it could be either a 2001 or 2006, possibly a standard? We're going to try to put it back together but I have a couple of quick questions.
1. From the pics is it possible to tell if it was a real Gibson (before they ruined it)?
2. Will it be too much effort to do anything about the paint job? Luckily they didn't touch the front and back of the headstock but it seems like other parts were sanded for some reason, I dunno if it should be painted black or just left as is. Maybe I should just leave it because I'll probably not be playing it on stage ever.
