He may be only willing to post either because he's a scammer and he doesn't actually have the guitar (so it being genuine doesn't help), or because he's wary of the Paypal chargeback scam.
If you offer to collect and pay in cash and he still doesn't accept, most likely the former.
Too-good-to-be-true prices usually are - especially for some reason if they're 'odd' numbers instead of round ones... I don't know why scammers seem to do that.

The hollow birds were around 2008 but the D & G tuners share a screw which i thought was only on the older winged tuners, late 80s and early 90s.
The trem looks routed for upbends though so that's correct.
Weird.
I'm quite often wrong though.
*Edit - Serial looks weird.....
Edit: the more I look at it, the more I think that's two different guitars.
If the back of the neck is black the headstock facing should also be black, not the trans red.
I suspect its bait and switch. One good photo of a real guitar and some close-ups of a copy. Avoid.
I wonder whether the guitar could have had a headstock break and sub-standard repair?
I have doubts about this as well - serial number is much larger than others and no date prefix - Agree about the D+G tuners sharing the same screw - A feature from much earlier
Looks like it has some tag based on the larger pic - should have modcat code info again in the pick-up cavity to support this
Looks like more investigation required
collect. Sighted having a nervous disposition so he didn’t like dealing with people which is plausible. But then he said he doesn’t deal In cash. Every guitarist I’ve ever met deals in cash... especially with PayPal charges.
Also checked his other items for sale and he has a brand new
iphone X for sale for £600 as well.
One well avoided.
