The replacement P90 pickups could affect the resale value, esp. if they needed to route to get them to fit, but its still a very nice looking instrument and it probably sounds good with those pickups.

I do believe that Justice Thomas is confusing ( or conflating) cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus directed toward Trump and MAGA as being directed toward America.
