Best Guitar Under $50 Ever? Mystery Auction Find

I impulse bought a couple cheap guitars from an online auction, including yet another electric for the collection. After taking a closer look inside and cleaning it up, I was honestly a little surprised. Now the question is do we hot-rod this thing, or trade it for something else?
