My thoughts are:
It has a JT6 and a non recessed cavity. Those are good things.
But I can't make out the serial.
Nor is there a single picture of the pointy headstock. Every picture has the tip cut off.
Rosewood fingerboard on an 88 Soloist? Sure, they exist, but why.
The logo looks funky to me, like it was put on in the wrong place.
And I am not even a fan of the top-only graphic.
Looks legit to me - it would be a strange thing to fake and get right for the era (JT6, oversize humbucker, 3 knobs), the rev head is cool to have and rosewood is unusual but not unheard of.
I quickly wondered about it being a refin'd Model 6 with a faked serial stamp, but the rev head rules that out. The graphic makes me wonder if it's a refin though, just because it looks a little ragged (no background colour between their legs for example), but it matches the head and the logo looks good so..
Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get
If that's original it's the worst original graphic I've ever seen. Wow.

I'm totally baffled as to what it is supposed to be. A skeleton dirty dancing with a man in a gimp suit??

It looks legit. It's not the worst graphic from that era...but pretty close! You could ask the seller to provide a pic or provide any info that might be under the springs in the the trem cavity. It may provide a name of this wondrous graphic.

Yeah not massively pretty. ended up selling for $1225 AUD, which would be just under $1000 US. cant help but think if it was just black we would have been looking at 2+. Anyway I ended up buying a 1986 model 6 and an 1986 model 3 for a combined total of $860. bargain.
