Hi there.

From the one picture we have, and blowing it up, the "Fender" logo is wrong, the tuners are wrong the string trees look wrong the dot spacing at the 12th looks wrong the tailpiece looks wrong.
That is not to say that someone has not up-graded the hardware or changed the tuners.

Without more pictures and better ones at that, I would have my doubts as well.

Being a MIM, how much is he asking, should be around 250ish, right?

I don't think that is real. If there were one part that was incorrect I'd say sure maybe it's modded. But the main thing that would worry me, is that the logo is completely incorrect. I believe I'd look for something different than that one if I was you. hth.
