It is beautiful though.
Would only be used for recording anyway. Scratch an itch and all that.
Done some research and looks kosher enough.

I would query the no neck reset, looks as if it might have had one judging by the lacquer touchup(?) around the neck join. I don't think I've ever seen one in that good condition, the lacquer usually has cracks so it must have been stored very carefully if it's all genuine.
The neck joint wear is hard to make out. I might ask him about it. Really on the fence.
Seller is willing to knock a few hundred off though, if anybody else is interested. Looks a pretty good deal if you're close enough to go and view it.
Even if you do stick it in a glass case, they'll still die. A friend has an 'heirloom' Senator guitar, which hasn't been played for about fifty years... I tested it for her and sure enough the pickup is dead .

Luckily for me, the guitar was just a sentimental heirloom from a recently deceased relative of the new owner. It was more important that it should look right on display than actually function as a musical instrument.
