We have a Restored ( by myself) 1978 Gibson G-3 body. Body was refinished in Stew Mac Vintage nitro with 7 coats of clear and made to look Vintage not new. Body was originally black, then was stained a horrible brown. I stripped it down a gave her new life. I added blocks of you want to make it a grabber with sliding pickup. ( you will need to add a drop of wood glue on the bottom of them) I shielded cavity with shielding paint. It’s got some bruises but it’s a very nice body. Most of these are horrible crap. I put a lot into these as I love to preserve these basses and make Parts and restore the pieces when I get them. Any questions feel free to ask and if I can help you out with your project, feel free to ask anytime. Thanks for looking. God bless 🙏
