Refinish/necks

Would it be worth refinishing a guitar? Just to make it more unique/one of a kind?

Also, are Warmoth necks any good for replacing stock crap necks? Are they worth the price?

Thanks.

worth it financially? of course not... almost any mod devalues a guitar. If you might ever sell it do not modify it, even if its an improvement like putting in high end electronics. When replacing stuff on a guitar you might sell the rule is to save the old junk and put it back to stock when you sell it. You can sue your fancy aprts on another guitar later and you will be able to say the guitar is in near mint condition when selling. A refinish always devalues a guitar, even a new one... even a cheapie. Its just frowned on.

yes, warmoth necks are great...
