Jazz styling, I'd put that low-E string back on the saddle before tuning it up..

Whereabouts in South Florida? I spent a few years in Sarasota in the late 60's/early 70's. And, shuttling between Sarasota and Atlanta..

Im between ft Lauderdale and Miami.

My question is is this a good model, does the price look right?

I'll hazard a guess that's a newer Chinese edition, from the serial number and style. Not a lacquer finish. For me, it would be overpriced.

Personally, I'd look for an older copy, either Burny or Greco; or, more likely at the newer Tokai issues - FA180 / FA235 or so. But, take that for what it's worth. I don't really want a hollow-body electric, that's just a matter of personal taste.
