I have a black 79 fender stat, all original, decent shape, the finish is faded a bit but not much. When I bought it I payed $1000 for it in 1995. I have recently seen stock 79 strats on ebay for $1500. So I have made $500. My problem is that I was thinking about swapping out the pic ups for something hotter, but at the same time I dont want screw with it and maybe make it worth less. What would you do if you were me ? Rip the guts out and go for it or keep it stock.
Thanks
Captain
