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........... G. |

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? |
