Electric Guitar

I talked to a guy today at the pawn shop during lunch and he said he had a Gibson Epiphone Strat style that he would be willing to sell.  He was kind enough to show it to me and it seemed to be in great condition and with all original parts.  He said he wasnt sure of what year it was, but it seemed original.  It had all of the pieces together and looked like it was well maintained.  He didn't have an amp so I couldnt test it, but I said I was interested.

Heres the kicker.  He said he was willing to sell it to me for $60 because he never played anymore and it was just taking up space.

Would this be worth it?

Tune it up with a tuner - form the best chord you can play - play the guitar for abit....now bend the strings abit - play the chord again -  out of tune? if it is - dont buy it.

if they are incredibly old strings, OR brand new not properly stretched they will go out of tune on the best guitar there is.
