Therefore, personally, in this case (and all other caveats), if I were buying this guitar I would already know that the pots and pickups will be replaced on sight.

Yes, tone is subjective, which is why I said "personally". I just offered a counter to some posts speaking in absolutes, such as this:
To summarise, in some cases it is a perfectly reasonable approach to buy a guitar knowing you will change pickups and the loom, or just simply replacing it straight away.

But then again I couldnt tell the difference in a blind test between a gibbo and any other guitar anyway never mind pickups or wires.
If there's anything you don't like and you decide to move it on later, you won't make a loss and may even profit, so it's a no brainer at that price.
edit….when I bought it, I asked how heavy it was? The seller said…..how heavy do you want it to be?
