Hey Nutty, Got the same price as you it's $249 at Musicians Friend, if the one you're looking at is mint condition it might be worth it but if it's been around the block a bit it should be a little bit less than that really, for an extra $54 you get a brand new guitar and a warranty so that might be a better way to go, I haven't got any experience of this guitar
so I can't comment on it but here are a load of reviews which on the whole are pretty good

PS. I don't know the exchange rate between the Canadian and US Dollar so please forgive me if my figures are a bit out
