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?

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.

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!
