I have a 1958 Musicmaster my wife found at a yard sale years ago for dirt cheap. It plays but is very filthy. All original parts, I took off pickguard and pickup to clean it, but then I read that many collectors think that cleaning it may hurt the resale value. Is this true? What would you do? How would you restore it? Thanks!

To me cleaning is to remove dust and dirt not remove paint wich hurt resale.

With all original parts ! Great . There are no need restore to me.

Those are sold for about 2500$€£, and I have no idea of your skill level, experience etc; so I'll bring up the 'don't touch it if you don't know what you're doing' card.

Any real help from the forum requires pics, as st52 wrote.
And in any case, I'd recommend showing it to a good pro.
