Dumb question maybe, I am debating modifying the electronics in my 10 for 15 Tele. Mainly the pickups and pots. I'm on the fence about it because it is a nice guitar and even though I don't plan to sell it I guess I am looking for advice if anyone has been through this. I know it is my guitar and I should treat it as such but I don't know how the value would be affected if I put boutique pickups in it. Thanks.

It is unlikely your guitar will significantly increase in value over time like those of yesteryear.
A mod like the one you mentioned will have a slight affect on resale value either up or down depending on the replacement pickups.
Providing the work is done well and you obtain the tone you seek I would not be to alarmed. Hang onto the old pickups. :D

Ok thanks, I figured it may not be as big of an issue since changing the electronics doesnt physically alter it but still.

You have made no compelling reason to make the change, I would leave it as is.

I'd mainly like concentric pots to control each pickup. Coil splitting may be in the works as well. This is an HH Tele for what it's worth.
