Well, is it in good/playable shape? Can you realistically even almost afford it? Then go ahead.

Is there a pic?

If you want it and can realistically afford it then get it. Think about it though; could you get the same thing out of a Squier and a chorus pedal? If you do end up getting it, try to haggle with the guy, get him to bring it down to 1650. One trick my friend taught me for pawn shops is to just go in and say "I'll give you $1650 for this guitar" and if he says no, just say "fine" and walk out. Half the time they'll stop you and sell you it, otherwise you can just come back in a week and try the same thing again. Works 90% of the time as long as the price you offer is decent.

That is awesome advice when buying brand new / in shops.

I always buy my things online (generally cheaper). But I will try what you said.
