Probably a Mexican Fender so if it plays good and feels good, offer $275- 300 or pay him what he's asking. It's worth it if it's a good player.

It's all personal preference. Go try it out and then figure out if you like it and if it's worth the money. Good luck!

Still need to read my previous post. It's all in the hands of the beholder. It's personal preference. I've played some I like and some I don't. Same with MIJ's and MIA's. If you play it and like it, buy it. If not, don't.

Yeah.......my advice is that it is stupid to ignore price, regardless of how much you like the guitar. At least, consider the price as one factor in your decision to buy it.

Most guitars lose value. It makes little sense to give your hard earned money away needlessly.

That guitar is likely to be a Mexican made Tele. Many people like them, even consider them equal to more expensive American made guitars. But it's ill advised. The MIMs use lower quality materials. Their finishing quality is sometimes lower. All this, along with lower labor costs, provides for a less expensive guitar.

This doesn't mean it's a bad guitar. More importantly, it certainly doesn't mean it's a bad value, for the money. It's all relative.

There are a wide variety of Fender Tele's and Strats, both in style, quality and price. For MIMs, $300 seems to be the breakpoint between cheap and expensive. The guitars specific qualities could make it more expensive or less. The ash body of that guitar is considered more appealing. So maybe it's worth a bit more.

You certainly could go to Ebay and analyze prices of that guitar. eBay now provides past sale-price data. Good to know how the market prices the item...
