Here it is. This guitar is special. Near-mint condition, and even with dead strings, it has volume, overtones, and clarity.
Gorgeous instrument!
Looks like that neck binding would be a very easy fix.
Makes me want to glue it down through the computer!
There is also very minor finish loss on one side of the neck from the nut to the 3rd fret, and a barely noticeable finish crack near the pick guard. I don’t anticipate more than $150 in repair and setup work (including new strings).
Can you show a pic of the "very minor finish loss on one side of the neck from the nut to the 3rd fret, and a barely noticeable finish crack near the pick guard".

For what it's worth, ALL of my DV-7Xs have had finish issues where the neck binding meets the neck, particularly up near the nut. Coincidently, its mostly the treble side. On my 73, the fretboard actually separated from the neck, requiring a week of R & R (repair and restoration) with Mr Fixit.
Very interesting, that is the exact reason I ask you to post pics of the neck area at the nut. "Ditto" what you just said, minus "Mr. Fixit" on my DV73. Now through the years I have seen this issue on three other DV73s. Recall!
