I'm a player, not a collector by any chance.
However, reading some of the threads in here got me curious.
Say you find a guitar that's like 40 or 50 years old. It's in fine shape, but some previous owner has messed around with the wiring and pickups, and the guitar ended up with a brand new stock harness (new pots and caps) and pickups, being fully restored to factory specs. The old pots and caps are still in the case. In other words, a fully restored guitar but with newer pots caps and pickups.
Is this a non collectible piece or does this guitar still interest a collector?
I apologize if this is a somewhat moronic question to this forum's standards but like I said, I have very little interest at all in collectibles. I am asking to educate myself in these matters...
