Hi:
I a have a 1960 Telecaster. I have had it since 1967. It was stripped of it's original paint when I got it. My question is... should I have it re painted to it's original color to enhance it's value? Would doing that make a difference?
I am planning to sell it in 2010. It will be 50 years old. Thanks...

What do you think it's currently worth? A keen eye would be able to spot a refinished guitar.

The colorwould have been really important for the price.
For instance, a blonde 1960 Tele in mint condition would start maybe at $15k, while a rare color 60 Tele would be double that easily.
My advice is to talk to someone in the vintage guitars business (like George Gruhn in Nashville) about an appraisal and possible options (such as a refinish) before doing anything.
