"... why change out the leaky caps that are already in the amp with other leaky caps?"

Maybe they are removing the perfectly good caps modern caps that a previous owner installed, and adding these old bad caps?

And not only is this ridiculous, the whole "relic-ing" guitars now... it disgusts me.

At my local music store last week I saw a BRAND NEW Telecaster that had been made to look old. Worn fretboard, varnish missing off the body, belt buckle rash, etc. And it was priced higher than one in unused mint condition. Go figure. I think it came from Fender that way as well.
