Repeating myself from a previous comment:

And if the road-earned patina is now shine? and the scratches are now filled with wood glue under a glued on pick guard? and the peg that came off that old banjo they found in the middle of a gig 20 years ago has been replaced with a brand new set. And the notch on the edging where steve’s girlfriend slammed a nazi in the face at the same party where sabrina fucked that idiot from the ska band and got pregnant?

    Let me start by saying I get it, sometimes the 'magic' of a guitar gets ruined by a well intentioned guitar tech.

    That said what you are describing is a complete re-finishing job, and possibly a gutting the guitar down to a husk and replacing all the parts. The paint will easily cost upwards of 1-2k, and swapping out everything with decent parts could cost $500 - $1,000.

    The 'wife' in the green text said she spent $200, for that price you aren't getting much, fresh strings, a setup, and possibly a spot level and crown for any high frets. A few minor tweaks, that in theory could be undone.
