Hey ya Chordial, I think you've got yourself a pretty good guitar.
With the amount of bumps and scratches you've mentioned, I'd say that this guitar may not have been used for live gigs.
I've got a H series MIJ that I picked up in the late 80's or early 90's ( memory not so good no more... ) I've used it as my second stage guitar. With regular live use I've has it refreted twice and the body repainted. even though its a basswood body I get just about the same tone from it as my 1957 Strat that I use as my number one stage guitar.
The only thing I've done is add DiMarzio HS-1 pickups and solid brass bridge saddles, Oh yeah and always use heavy strings (I use a custom set of 12 to 49's).
So would keep it and get a good tech to fix it.
