So years (i think 4 or so) back I bought a 71 gibson sg deluxe off this guy for $250.. it was in a mess and i spent the time bringing it back to playbility.
for some dumb reason i traded it away for another SG that i wanted.
the guy i traded it to still has it and loves it..
ive been searching for another deluxe at a decent price that i could get my hands on but no luck thus far.

Anyone have any advice on how to convince this guy he should sell me back the axe when he's been using it for years as his main guitar?

Try finding another nice guitar and then try and convince him that it's a much better guitar than the one he's using now.

good call, that's what I'm hoping for. Unfortunately I don't know the guy all that well so it might be tough
