Looks nice, mind if I ask how much it cost?

i put a deposit down for £20 but its only £70
its from the 1960's
$108ish

That's a pretty good price

Clean the neck with some silica or wood oil conditioning spray, buy some D'Addario strings for it with correct thickness, swap them, and play (or learn, of you can't already). Looks like a guitar that would be fun to play, in my opinion

Nice find.

Colourwise? Glossy wood finish would look good if that's what you're asking.

Are the current pickups good? You should probably keep them as spare parts if you do change them.
I'm not that good with pickups, to be honest, though I wish I was. Can't really give advice without knowing what you play :/
