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?

When I see corrosion, I don't trust where electricity goes. This is just common fucking sense to anyone that understands squat about electricity and values their life.

Hell, even if the outside of the thing is perhaps only 3% corroded, the inside could be 33% corroded...

Nobody knows unless they at least inspect it to start with. I mean hell, I've dealt with flooded cars before, you know how many of those are outright deceiving and totally ruined internally and go to scrap?

It's not hard to check inside of a guitar though. Is there something wrong with at least checking and cleaning it up first, inside and out?
