Pretty good price for a player quality guitar.
If you buy it with that intent, replace the tuners.
Those buttons are very fragile and a whole set is worth around $300.
I like mine quite a bit, but this model is criticized by some players because of reflections of light making it hard to see the fretboard.
The case is not pictured, but if it is original, it is of great value as well.

That shop used to have irregular business hours.
Check to see when it's open before you go there.

There's a better looking one on Ebay.
