Hi

i have a choice to buy a fender jeff beck 93 model with lace sencor in sea foamgreen in good condition all original with original case.

also I've got a choice of a fender vintage 79 model in white in good condition but it was refinished in white again and the bridge pickup has been replaced with a di marzio pickupfrom the 80s.

They both are the same money around 1200 dollars.
which one would hold its value in time?

and can you tell me the value of each guitar?
many thanks .

Sam

ANSWER

Hi, Sam--

I would definitely go with the Jeff Beck Strat if you are looking for a guitar that will retain or increase its value.

Original equipment guitars without modifications are always going to be worth more for resale than guitars that have been modified--especially refinished.
