Guitar help, vintage guitar, whats it worth?
It is a may ? 1967 Fender Musicmaster as labled on the neck plate (cant remember the day off the top of my head). The body has been repainted many times and gutted for a humbucker but all before it was mine. I re-finished it again, (not the best job but its alright), put a dimarzio vintage 57 in the neck and a dimarzio fast track 2 in the bridge, and a new tortoise shell pickguard and wiring system. So that being said about the body the neck has not been altered at all, the tuning heads have been painted but nothing else. So to conclude the bridge, control plate, neck plate and neck are the only untouched things. What is this worth!?
I can't say for sure what it's worth, but I can tell you the value is decreased severely. For one, repainting and refinishing (especially an unprofessional job) both diminish the value, changing out stock components decreases value, and painting the tuning machines further decreases the value.
It's probably not worth much now. Too much has been changed.
