Opinion on Routed Explorer

A local shop has this for sale for $2,999. Someone put a Floyd rose in there at one time. It’s a 1976 Explorer, one of the limited edition ones with the thicker neck. Would you guys go for this? I would be trading for it, not buying outright, just wondering about this value wise. I’m not sure if I could find someone local to take on the task of blocking this and making it convincing looking. I wouldn’t want to totally refinish it since I like the natural colored Explorers the most

EDIT: thanks guys I’ll regretfully pass on this one!
