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?

“I know what the fuck I’m talking about.”
But you don’t, that’s the thing.
So you misused the term for dramatic effect, or you didn’t know the meaning behind it, but either way you are currently making a different argument than your original claim, rather than just admit you make a mistake, go to bed, and try to do better tomorrow.
Also, you just misused the term again
“or severely injure”
Yes, please don’t try to tell me how many times I’ve been electrocuted by over 20,000 volts.
And how many of those 20,000 volts were a direct result of a guitar rather than ungrounded equipment connected to a guitar?
Do I need to link the definition for “severe injury”?
No, I have enough diagnosed brain damage already, thank you.
Evidently.
So you wonder why I’d rather play things safe now? Like I dunno, clean everything first before plugging it up?..
Actually, I wonder why you’re focusing on the cleaning aspect of this whole thread because literally nobody here cares about that, that’s not what you’re wrong about.
What you’re wrong about is an old dirty guitar electrocuting you because it’s old and dirty.
Outside is corroded from years of humidity means inside is corroded from years of humidity as well. How much? Who the hell knows? Fuckit, let’s just plug it up and cross our fingers…
Or maybe, just maybe, use a little lick of sense and at least open it up and look inside first. Fuck, at least look first, not like it’s rocket science to use a Phillips screwdriver to open the cover…
Looking first isn’t what you’re wrong about, the electrocution part is what you’re wrong about.
