New pickups or a new guitar? (lemmy.world)

I've got a 1970s Hohner Les Paul and the humbuckers are starting to die. I was looking at Seymour Duncan's but for that cost does it make sense to just get a new guitar?

I know your issue’s been solved already but for me it would come down to how you feel about the guitar body+neck. If you love the look and have some sentimentality attached to it, change the pickups. Otherwise get a new guitar
