Clearly it needs some work. Typically, these guitars are very good playing and sounding - and have drastically increased in price in the last few years.

But - be aware, that pointy headstocks and vintage trems flat out do not work - USA made or otherwise - they will rarely stay in tune under even moderate whammy use.
