Was planning to list it for sale somewhere, but no idea what to price it at. Any idea? Is it even worth someone’s time fixing it up?

Yeah, and the guitar only has 5 of 6 strings, and some nitwit asked how it sounds…
Get real, lemme ask you how a 6 cylinder engine would sound with a dead cylinder. Lemme ask you how a motorcycle would drive with a broken spoke or two…
Nothing that relies on timing is gonna sound right without proper maintenance. I mean goddamn, at least WD-40 the existing strings and tune them first, how TF anyone gonna judge the sound of a corroded guitar without a basic checkup and cleanup?
What the fuck are you talking about. Did you forget your point?
No, I did not forget my point. I’m referring back to the start of my points, which all basically add up to inspect, clean, and repair the thing before hooking it up to any device connected to mains electricity.

I’ve been electrocuted over 20 times in my life. There’s no obligation that one has to perish for it to actually qualify as electrocution.
This is a consequence I’ve had to accidentally suffer multiple times to know what the fuck I’m talking about.

“or severely injure”
Yes, please don’t try to tell me how many times I’ve been electrocuted by over 20,000 volts.

No, I have enough diagnosed brain damage already, thank you.
That isn’t a brag. I’ve joined the 240 club once.
The guitar also has closed back pickups. So say OP takes them out, how will they see the coils? You have no clue what you are talking about.
Have you joined the 20K volt club? I have, multiple times, I used to repair CRT and projection set televisions. Ever been popped by a flyback transformer?..
They measure the voltage by the inches of the spark. You want your heart jump started? 240 club is almost a joke, except that I hear 240 makes your muscles clinch up… ☹️
You don’t see the coils to find issues nitwit, you use a multimeter and/or an oscilloscope. Shit can and definitely does fail internally where your eyes can’t see.
That’s the whole reason they make advanced testing equipment. pLEaSE sToP BOthErINg mE!

No, you did. And now you are trying to downplay the original argument.
That’s good. It means you can learn and move on. If you aren’t just a troll.
Can I buy you and boba a beer?
No. But a whiskey with ice and water would be lovely!
