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?

    And you and all of your friends are dismissing safety. Fuck all that, I respect safety and always have. You’ve got mains going into the amp, the cable going into the guitar, and metal wires on the fingers. Oh, don’t forget about the metal whammy bar…

    Although the risk of electrocution is minimal, it still exists. My folks had a rule to not fuck around with sketchy equipment. What the fuck is your deal with cleaning and maintaining a goddamn guitar?

      Lol. Nobody is saying to not maintain a guitar, wtf. What a wild stretch. You must be defensive.

      They are just saying that you are wrong that a rusty/shorted pickup is some serious safety risk. Because it is not, and you are acting self-righteous, ill-informed, and paranoid.

        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?
