I would be very weary buying any guitar online...usually it is no problem, but I like to play a guitar before I buy it...sometimes guitars vary even tho they are the exact same models with the same specs...I find this particularly true with low-end instruments(like Squire in particular) and in Gibsons(I own a really nice Gibson Les Paul, but the consistancy of Gibson is terrible, I would never buy a Gibson before trying it...but if you get a good one...then its good!)
