I saw it in person yesterday. It definitely looks like the original finish, albeit an odd one. The "Beth" is engraved from the back of the board - I'm not sure if it was done by Gibson or someone later, but it's professionally done.

It's one of those "never say never" Gibsons.

Thanks, Noah. With Gibson in Kalamazoo of that era, it seems anything was possible.
