I would first, ask for better pictures, and if so inclined, schedule a time to go and take it
for a ride...I've never seen a Hwy1 body like that one. Be careful! :wink:

Play it and if you like it offer him 350.00 I would,nt pay any more than that. Seems like a parts guitar.

+1...looks like a parts guitar for sure. If it plays nice though, 350 might be a good offer to start.

if the extra stuff is there and the neck feels right, plays good sounds good, yeah buy it.
ive never seen a natual finish HW1. it looks sweet though. go test drive it. if its a $500 guitar then pay the man $500. dont try to lowball him if the body is MIM. pay him what its worth, what you would sell it for.

Does "TEX Mex" pickups indicate MIM (for the pickups at least)?

Tex-Mex pickups are great and would certainly add to giving the guitar a good tone.
