    Keeping its original look and vibe would inspire a player a lot more than a full restoration, it's like a direct connection to its past and history, and the fact it survived so long and still could be played and sound decent is awesome

    What a great, warm sound! Sounds amazing. If it currently plays & feels good with the repairs you’ve done, don’t change anything else about it. A lot of people would have already removed that last little bit of yellow finish in order to have a new paint job applied to it. I think it should keep it’s totally worn appearance to show what it’s been through. It’s beautiful & I wish it was mine! What a lucky find… for both you & the guitar.
