1968 gibson acoustic

Is this a good guitar choice?
My friend Jason just got home from a second tour in the navy…..hes really into music and his acoustic guitar is kind of old, and he wants a new one…..so i thought that getting him a guitar as a welcome home gift…..but i also know that he wants an electric guitar so i thought that i would get the electric instead of the acoustic….So i have done a little research and i think im going to get this one
I have 2 links for 2 different websites but its the same guitar and i also would get it in Triburst, not the other 2 color choices:

well im sorry i dont know much about guitars….gahhhh
so im guessing this is a yes
Is that a good guitar choice? Are you stoned? That’s like the ultimate guitar brought down from the heavens by Les the guitar God. Do you need another friend? Jesus, I would give my left foot for this piece of art.
