I'm sure there are people in the world who'll pay big money for genuine 50s and 60s parts - but how could you prove they were genuine?  Carbon dating?

The thought goes that if you need a pickguard for a 53 Tele then you'll pay whatever for it...

Some dealers hoover them up on eBay and then try to resell them for crazy prices - but there again - who the hell could tell anyway????

On a more reasonable level, there are people out there who make a reasonable amount on eBay buying up guitars (especially Fenders) and chopping them for parts.  I once doubled my money on a Korean Squier!

That seller overprices practically everything he sells!

He also badly mis-interprets the items in descriptions and sells items as other things.

He's quite notorius for his 'sales' of Jackson and Charvel guitars  :shock:

Carbon dating cannot be used for something that new, ironically.

no no, really, when you've spent three and a half grand on a scratchplate your guitar WILL sound and play a lot better.

in your mind anyway, otherwise you'd realise what a tw@t you are!

who'd buy a vintage guitar without a scratchplate anyway?

Yeah, I know, I was just attempting to be funny.  

Seriously, how would you prove the age?  Unless there was some kind of provenance like a letter from the original owner - maybe he'd know where the rest of the guitar is.
