Would this be a good deal?

I just looked on a Danish eBay-like website (it's actually run by eBay, only it's all Danish), and found what I believe could be a good deal. It's a black Duesenberg Starplayer Special, Les Paul-style guitar and this one goes for just above half the standard retail price. The drawback: It has some cosmetic scratches and belt-marks from being used, which drags the price down a bit.

Some info on the guitar in question, so you folks can help me decide whether it's worth the roughly 700-800 USD:

"Duesenberg Starplayer Special Black electric guitar, US-Alder Body, solid Maple Top, Body Size 44 x 32,5 x 5,3cm, thomann Bolt on Maple Neck, Rosewood Fretboard 12" Radius, Dual Action Truss Rods, Nut width 42 mm, Scale 647 mm, 22 Jumbo Frets, Pickups: 1x Grand Vintage Humbucker Neck position and 1 x Crunchbucker Humbucker Bridge Position, Tunamatic Bridge and Stop Tailpiece, US- 3 way Switch, Multi-Tone-Pot for Splitting Function and Tonecontrol."

How good quality would you say this instrument is? I have already tried a few Duesenberg guitars a year ago, and they were just awesome, but I believe someone more experienced might be better able to estimate the quality of this guitar. In short, is it worth 700-800 dollars or would it be better to save money for something else.
