What kind of tape is it? Most tapes come right off most finished surfaces. Sure, there's some glue left behind, easily handled. A 76 Explorer with a bunch of tape all over it is not a 76 Gibson Explorer original, it's one with tape all over it. If you want an original 76 Explorer, take the tape off and see how it has faded, if at all, over the decades. It it's been in a case all this time then maybe not too bad. Either way, if you want to try and get it into the hands of a collector or someone who just wants an original 76 Explorer, the tape is a massive issue.

I don't understand what it is you are asking. Do you want to remove the tape?
Yes but not if not will ruin it being how long tape has been on

And if I try and take tape off, once I start there's no going back so if goes wrong it would be better to leave it on, but no cracks in body or neck, and next head and fretboard are in amazing condition, but the pickups are inevitable because that's what happens after being that old unless it's was never touched and taken care off when bought but very few in mint condition ecsp the ebony color
