It's real, no doubt about that. Hasn't been well looked after though, those strings look like they've been on the guitar since it was made in 2006. Yellowing suggests it wasn't kept in the case and has either been smoked or left in sunlight a lot (both?), the rust suggests it spent a period in high humidity like being left in a damp garage or something. Just take into account that the bridge saddles almost definitely need to be replaced due to the amount of corrosion.

I personally would dodge this guitar unless you're getting a great deal on the price, Ibanez replacement parts aren't cheap (especially the Japanese trems like the Edge Pro on this one).

2000-2150 USD is what I’d pay for that. It doesn’t look THAT bad. I’ve seen worse!

The thing is, that guitar looks like it has been kept in some dodgy conditions and that would have me more worried than a bit of chipped paint. Damp and sunlight can do a lot of harm and while the guitar is probably fine overall the bridge has a lot of corrosion/rust. Edge Pro replacements can be tough to find these days and you're talking £200+ for that bridge, and when there are plenty of really nicely looked after Jems out there why would you buy something like this unless you were getting a really good deal?

Until very recently you could get a really good condition older Japanese 7V for about a grand used, the prices have gone up but I think that bubble is gonna burst, no point in buying a neglected guitar that has been sitting around in someones shed for years.
