Just found this refinished musician on the bay

http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7397019703

...and I thought I'd bring this up for discussion:

What do you guys think about refinished vintage guitars and how much value do they hold for you?

If you found a refinished Bob Weir or a 2619 how much would you pay?

To clarify, I only mean to ask about the finish being redone not the guts or anything else.

I think this guitar is quite nice...........

Errr - to answer your question - I think that providing you have it restored to *original* finish and have it done by a *highly* repected luthier, then it should not detract from its value.

'Scuse me, I'm just going back to look at that again...........

I don't mind a refin to a guitar that is suffering a near death experience, but you do have a few people that think if it's cheap, try to make the most profit you can. Thats when a guitar is ruined.
If a guitar is original, I prefer to keep it that way, scratches and all.

Here's one example,

And after a refin, did he get this wrong or what?

not to mention this one.

What does everyone else think?

Oh dear that poor AS200!
I'm glad my Weir came out good.
