if that was mine, I think I'd strip the body all the way down & ship it off to Mark Jenny for an as-is refinish, relic'd to match the neck. then put on a vintage 3-saddle bridge & a lollar neck pickup with a chrome cover & try to forget about what's under the pickguard. is that the original bridge pickup? You'd end up with a nice-playing, nice sounding instrument and a tale of youthful folly.

trying to undo that youthful folly might cost you an awful lot of money. Or you could just have a bondo-and-spray-paint party and see what you ended up with. But I think a nice, old-looking finish on that body as it sits would look pretty natural.
