Re: Les Paul Classic with 496 and 500 pickups

Quote:
how much will changing the pickups depreciate the guitar?
If you are buying it for a collection, then by all means save the parts. Personally, Classics won't fetch you much of a return. If you are buying it to play it, you can't go wrong. I have a 1994 Classic. A change of pickups and caps can do wonders for the tone. I agree that the 496 500 combo can be harsh.

IMO
