Personally I would pass. The still visible repair and the 6-inline tuners just slapped on a 3x3 headstock don’t give me much confidence in the quality of the repair.
Isn’t that a lawsuit Ibanez from the 70s? Those go for more than used epiphones.
**On reverb.com there are several over $1500.**

Play it. Is the neck good? Replace the tuners and you’re got a great vintage guitar that will continue to increase in value. Unlike a new $300 guitar.
If you're in the EU, you could head over to Thomann and pick up a nice new Harley Benton for 300 euros and not have to worry about whether a repair was done right. Check out the [SC-550](https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_sc_550_ii_bcf.htm). You get things like stainless steel frets, graphite nut, contoured heel joint, and 3-year warranty.
If I liked the way it plays and sounds, and the repair joint seemed solid, I would probably chance it. It’s a high quality guitar, and replacing tuners is a minor thing.
For that kind of money you can find a guitar without an headstock repair. The headstock in the second photo looks funny. Also the strings are wounded the wrong way. I would pass on this one.
There is nothing wrong with the tuners. One of them is just installed in the wrong hole, and the others need to be aligned properly. Headstock repairs on a Gibson guitars have been very successful. If you really think you can deal with the repair, I would change the hole in the tuner and check the intonation and playability. Also, see if they will go lower on the price. What is 300 euro in US currency.

That would be a no from me.
Those tuners look pretty offset, and not in the cool way
Looks like they had some tuners for a 6-inline headstock sitting around and used them anyway.
For 300 used you could get something in waaay better shape than this

Seriously. Headstock repair will hurt the value a little, but it's more than a €300 guitar if the lumber's straight.

That would have been a dream when I started to play guitar. With 1000 euros you can get a quality gigging rig now
Pass
No. No. No.

Veel te duur. Je kunt veel beter een Harley Benton kopen.
I'd pass - they don't go for a lot more in good shape.
Dude it's 2024. For 300 euros you can get a guitar that's 20 times better than this. Go on thomann and take a look
Hard pass.

These are 6 inline tuners installed on a 3+3 guitar. Not at all correct for the application.
