My first Variax/midi guitar set-up was a 700 (with a GK3) through a PodXTLive and an Axon AX50.  It served me beautifully (for the time) and I actually quite like the guitar.

But now I own my customized JTV69s (the Hexstainocaster) which I use pretty much exclusively and a Helix. 
As such, the 700 and XT are just sitting in a closet. I'll probably put the GK3 on one of my Strats. 

The 700 and Pod are in beautiful condition and I am considering selling them as a set (or keeping just the 700 as a back-up). But I'm also considering using the 700 electronics in a custom project. The thing is the guitar is in such immaculate shape that I feel bad gutting it.

What to do... what to do...?
Hexstainocaster, Fender Strat and Electric XII, Godin ACS, Axon AX50 - Moog One, IIP and Mini, SEM, Dot.Com/Moon/STG/FSFX 110, Cubase Pro, 2xMR816, HR824, NS10M, Komplete, Omnisphere/RMX/Trilian, Z3ta+, Analog Lab, Slate MTi2, ML1 and Everything Bundle, Social Entropy Engine, ESQ1, DX7, Lavalamp.

put it up for sale at a little more than the price you would like to get for it, while you decide what to do..

As soon as 'project' or surgery come into play, so does value. Do what you want as an artist, aside from value. Once you begin to become a person watching over the purse strings or wallet, things change. Follow your heart.
