It sounds to me like you aren't happy with it so it's probably best to take advantage of any buyer protection while you can.
The one thing that was rarely an issue was finish quality. Yes they were thick - but as a result of this, they did not sink into the grain and could be polished to a high gloss, without any risk of going through to the wood. 'Orange peel' finishes are atypical of the period - hence I would strongly suspect a refinish.
On a guitar of that vintage, a refinish (done well) doesn't really matter - as long as it's reflected on the price.
At £1200, it hasn't been....
