Theres no point in arguing. Its a fact. Once you alter any original part, it is no longer of the same value as it was before.
It may be better than it was originally, but the book value of the guitar goes down, no matter what.

Why would it sound better without paint?
If anything, it would sound worse. Less mass, less sound. Its a small part of the sound, and probably wont be noticed, but to say its better is a stretch.

I ask about the oil, because 'some oil's can ruin a guitar. Is it Tung oil, or some machine oil with silicas in it? Theres a big difference.

Anyway....its a Jap Kelly. Nice guitar. Look it up on ebay, then subtract 100-150 for the paint malady.
See those slabs of wood in that thing? Thats why they painted that thing in the first place.
Usually a guitar that is painted at the factory, is painted for a good reason.
Its wood/grain is unattractive. This is an example of that.
I dont know how a slab 5 pc Alder body looks 'sick' to you. But I dont judge people.
