Good condition, 6/10, Made in USA, this guitar has been professionally revived by professional luthier Roger Häggström (Gammelgura) about 3-4 years ago with a new spruce top with X-bracing, a new bridge and a new pickguard so the guitar could be a LG-1 or LG-2 (the only difference is the transverse or x-braced top which is now missing), both the logo and the tapered headstock are dead giveaways for a 1948/1949 Gibson, including black hardcase with yellow lining and the letters NOSO on the lid, more info about the restoration here: https://gammelgura.se/wordpress/?p=3659 and translated to English:

Retopping a Gibson

If you are a guitar repairman, you can repair guitars. Often get side projects in the form of refretting, adjusting, etc. Sometimes it's worse than that. This Gibson guitar came with a replaced plywood top... not what you want to see! Made a new top in Swedish spruce (got the top from Per Marklund) and made my first sound hole + rosette. This is a procedure I never come across with the old guitars. Also got help from Per to nitrocellulose spray paint the top in a vintage orange color. Made a bridge, braced the top and glued the neck in place. The base of the neck was cracked in two places, two round birch rods were drilled into the base of the neck over the cracks and glued with epoxy glue. New tuning screws. Re-fretted, plane sanded the fingerboard and adjusted a new bone nut and bridge saddle. A bunch of vintage bridge pins and an end plug fit the guitar well.
