I recently just had an interest in getting an electric guitar and after researching I was told I should get the "Fender Stratocaster MIM". I found one off craigslist here:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/msg/4645035670.html

I was wondering if anyone could tell if this is a fake guitar or not and also whether or not if this is a good price for the electric guitar ($275). I haven't bought it just yet and I'm waiting for the person to reply to me as to whether they still have it or not.

Thank You,
John

Looks like the reaj deal. Go ahead and get it before someone else does. Chances of finding a fake MIM are slim. It's the MIA ones you have to be careful of.

Looks like a real MIM Standard. Offer him $250 and see if he takes it, but $275 for a darn near appearing mint MIM Standard is not a bad price.

It looks like he might have had the Fishman Triple Play MIDI pickup installed on there. I'd try to barter a deal to get the pickup too.

Here's a sample by a friend of mine that uses the Fishman - all of the sounds are MIDI using a guitar :
