Oh man, that is painful to look at.   :o   I have to wonder if it was in a flood, or a roof leaked, or something.  I can't imagine someone just letting it get this bad over an extended period of time.
Maybe at least the pickups might be salvageable?  Guess that's one good thing about the epoxy-encased pickups - at least there's no exposed metal to corrode.
That's still a pretty decent chunk of change just to get some replacement FAG-170 pickups though.

That's sad. You can bet the board etc are no longer working.
