Very playable and sounds great as is, but this H'Bird needs a lot to get it back to where you really want it to be.  The frets a very worn and the bridge has been shaved down in an effort to waylay the fact that the neck must be reset.  Other than these expensive repairs-frets, neck set, and new bridge, there is a 'V' shaped stress crack on the back under the heel.  I can't feel any movement and have never seen this before, anywhere!  There is also a tight top crack, but there are no other cracks back, top, or sides. Apologies for the reflections in the pictures, I'll send any more you require. The back 'V' is difficult to show and everything is coming through a bit more red than real.  I'm the retired owner of The Folk Shop and I will be offering good and "eh" for sale.  The Folk Shop has a good reputation and I will continue that.
