He has said many times before on other postings that the guitars he works on are already 'molested' and poor players grade models - He doesn't just work on 59 burst grade guitars - He regularly shows on FB, postings about SG's and 335 models, plus others, that have had similar treatment, after finding them in a poor and molested condition
(formerly customkits)
and hey!... it’s just wood at the end of the day dude
I always have a response when the owner asks the simple question.."why?"
The already molested SG will still be a players grade, albeit with a different fingerboard, but I'm sure such a guitar will be 'restored' as required and priced accordingly - maybe in something cool like Pelham Blue to add some desirable character
Regarding economics and you can see why many lower priced late 50's guitars, that original had a pair of paf pick-ups, have now had them removed - A pair of pafs can sell more than the cost of a 59 ES350T - Not all, but many such guitars have been raided for the wealth that such parts can deliver
Bravo..

Yuki wants it for himself. If he sells it later then a value will be attached. Right now it isn't for sale and not worth worrying about a value. Allow him to enjoy it in peace.
To me, the first refin or irreversible modification is the mistake, everything after that is fair game. I recently added an unmarked Brazillian rosewood fretless fingerboard to an original, but modified, '62 jazz bass, so I am definitely not averse to further modifications, if an instrument is non-original.
Keep up the good work, and keep posting the results. Guy
Makes me laugh at the shallowness and pure envy.
Once again, thanks OP for an inspiring thread and showing your work
