Vintage Gibsons have a history of selling for market or even above-market prices at SGW, even when in need of repair like this one. Here the sides are pulling away from the back and some of the kerfing is broken. I'd think the back would have to come all the way off in order to fix that.
I've noticed that about their pricing trends for Gibsons. This poor thing has the sides pulled away from the neck block as well. This would be a bit of a project. Hard to know how well it would come back together.
