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?

Pots in particular. They are literally a moving part and suffer from wear, dust, and oxidation. Worth bypassing or replacing with known good ones when troubleshooting in general.
