I wanted to check if there's any other models that fall in this discount category, went back up a level to 'electric guitars' in the breadcrumb and even the fenders show $799 instead of the $519 and you can't seem to get the discount back unless you use the direct SD link.
Is there some sort of coupon code being applied ?
This is the only player model they can advertise a discount for because it is unique to their store (and therefore, no other dealer will be forced to price match).
You might be able to get discounts on the other colors by calling the sales team, but you typically won't see them advertised for less than MSRP unless the sale is coordinated by Fender.
Also any recommendations on an affordable amp?
Cheers

But, ask for a good amp recommendation and you will get a zillion suggestions.
I also think the Boss Katana would be a good pick. How loud can you be where you'll be playing?
The 'Plus' designates a transparent finish over a maple veneer on the top of the instrument, it's purely aesthetic. Get it if you love that finish.
You *probably* wont have that problem with one that has been stored not out in the open.
Ive always said - being on guitar forums for 15+yrs - NEVER judge a model of a guitar by what you run into at GC. Its the worst environment possible pretty much.

"In court documents, Guitar Center said store sales declined this year mainly because of temporary closures due to the pandemic. The company had 10 straight profitable quarters between February 2019 and 2020 and was "on extraordinarily sound footing" prior to the health crisis, Guitar Center said in court documents."
So I guess they weren't profitable before Feb 2019 but were doing better since.
I'm right there with you, but ordered this anyway. Figured it's a crapshoot if I get a good one or a bad one, and worst case I return it. I too noticed the $200 Squier felt better, as did the same Player-class Telecaster. That neck felt great, but the Player Strat felt like it was capable of drawing blood. To the comment above about it being due to the humidity and environment, while that might be the case, the guitars I saw with the rough frets were mostly on the top of the ends, not where the fret met the wood. My hope is that I can simply file down the burrs and rough edges that were left.
I really was and still am torn between this Player and a PRS SE Custom 22 or 24. The finish on those seemed so nice, but the Fender has the tone I wanted. Also, managed to get the Strat for about $525 total after using my Amex offer and getting a little cash back from one of the sites. Still on the fence really, but I guess time will tell once it arrives next week.
I got a RoadWorn on SDotD back when they had Fender Fridays.
There are some intonation issues and very little fret buzzing, so it seems some setup is likely in order. All that being said, I'm still torn between this and a PRS SE, but for no reason other than I'm upgrading from a cheap 25 year old Washburn Lyon (strat-style guitar from my teenage years that I never followed through with). While this Player is definitely better, it still feels very much like the guitar I already have, while the PRS would feel completely different and new. Being a new player, I don't necessary know enough to appreciate all of the good and the bad, which really makes shopping difficult.
(Edit) Also wanted to note how fast this was delivered. I placed my order on Thursday evening, selected the free shipping option (7-10 days) and it shipped Friday morning and arrived Saturday afternoon. Guitar was double boxed with no signs of any damage.
Guitar amps did drop down from $69 to $59 over BF CM only. Nothing much with CW for only some items like using iRing to PC, or to iMac, iphone, ipad. Record save your music notes. Expensive but the fun in it to produce your own songs and music videos.
My plans are to purchase one more Electric Guitar from Ibanez either through Adorama via Amazon or Amazon itself for now. $199 to $249.
Adorma did a lot better shipping my Ibanez than Amazon did with the knock guitar was rolling around in both boxes. I guess no one really cared at Amazon hub to tape up the inner box so it was open and everything just rolling around in as it move through the sort belt at UPS hubs and in the van-line trucks.

Guitars that I have noticed appreciate recently:
Peavey T60 (was $300-400 used a couple years ago, now ~$600 used)
Pretty much every CIJ/MIJ Jaguar or Jazzmaster that was $500 used a few years ago is now asking $750-1200
Squier Jazzmaster Baritone ($550 or less new, now ~$1000 used)
Wildwood Fender AVRI '65 Thin Skin Jazzmaster (was $1900 new, $2200 used)
(I think a lot of AVRI instruments are currently appreciating because the American Original series is less true to vintage spec.)
Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster (was $1000 used, now close to $2000 used)
Fender Elvis Costello Jazzmaster (was $2000 new, now close to $3000 used)
Any vintage Jazzmaster, pretty much, has been appreciating since the 90s.
I think 1950s and 1960s Strats, Teles, and Les Pauls continue to appreciate.
But a Johnny Marr Jaguar, which is a popular signature model with great reviews, is $1900 new but goes for $1k-1400 used. If it's discontinued, prices might creep up over time, but it's a mass production model so who knows.
The vast majority of guitars depreciate.
