Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top - Question

[Geist01]

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going great.  I have a 2011 Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top. It was routed out (by someone else) to fit full size humbuckers. Does anyone know how this would affect the value.  I got this guitar from a late friend, so I am not looking to sell. Thanks.

It will either not matter at all to someone who loves the guitar or it will be worthless to someone who likes things left alone.

Stock is usually worth more, but like KSD said if you like it you like it.

As a Les Paul Deluxe it is, well, worthless, they had minis.  As a Les Paul it is probably fantastic.

What pickups are in it? 

It would affect value if someone wants it stock... But it's still a valuable, expensive guitar if you ask me.

the straight answer    Yes!  100%  on a resale people tend get squirrely about any kind of mod like that.

Sounds like it's of no matter to you though.
