Thank you again. Much appreciated.

I appreciate your thoughtful comments. The nut is the 1-11/16" width so that puts it in the fifties - very helpful.
You're right about the tuners - many years ago I replaced the originals because couple of them were failing. And there is indeed a jack hole on the treble side.
There are cracks on the back and structural issues inside the body, but I am certainly leaning toward restoring it.
Do you know if Gibson made this model without a serial number - maybe an early production run?

That's right, No mark there and no notation on the hand-cut label. It is very unlikely that the serial number was taken off by anyone. I've had the guitar since 1965 and bought it from someone who'd been using it in a C&W band.

Thanks much for your insights! By the way, the blurred faint number on the heel appears to be 382.
