max2343 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 How Much Value Would you loose if Any on a Completly Original 25 year old Gibson if you just Replaced the Pot's & Caps. I have one and I'm just Dying to Install 500 or 1 meg Pots to Open up my Sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Depends on the buyer, I suppose. Me, I'd say $0. Just keep the original pots & caps, put them back in if you ever choose to sell. If a guy gives you a hard time over broken solder joints, you probably don't want to sell it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Broken Solder Joints Do Kinda Seem like a Big Deal though, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Do you want to play it, or save it for some museum someday? If you're worried that maybe, some collector might not want to pay stupid dollars for a guitar that has never been ___, then put it in a glass case and never touch it again. Otherwise, unless you hack the crap out of it, I say do what you want and let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 My '61 Melody Maker has been in the family since '70. (my son had it for 10 or 15 years) It's not for sale. I had it refinished in clear poly around 1978. 1 piece Mahogany body. I'm sure that ruined the value..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
