Not really, these days -- covid and inflation and all. I bought the Strat @ 539 a month back and am generally pretty happy with it.

Was really itching for this but after a trip to the Guitar Center I am not so sure any more. My main problem is the fretwork on the Players seem rushed/sloppy. There were 6+ MiM Player Strats on display and 100% every one of them had terribly rough fret ends. The neck feel was not better but actually worse than the cheaper Squires next to them. This particular store only had one PRS, it was a SE Custom 22 I believe and the fit and finish was miles better. I'll need to save up for an American if I don't end up getting a PRS.
$1 nail file from a dollar store will solve your frets issues in no time.

Actually, $1, 4-sided, nail sanding surfaces block. About 4 inches long, 2" wide, YMMV. With 4 different fine grains. That's perfect and 20X cheaper than most hardware store, sanding sponge blocks.

Dollar Tree online did not list them anymore.

Home Depot had some $5 blocks that are different.

This is almost exactly what i used....

And you can use flat tongue depressor shaped ones too. Even fine metal ones, to start. Just don't go to far. And BTW, try two pairs of reading glasses over each other for magnifying and in strong light.

Anyone know if Adorama will be willing to drop the price on the white Strat also? I know LPD is an Adorama exclusive color (hence the reason why only LPD is on sale). But, like other websites, if I call them will they be willing to give me a discount on the white strat also?

You should call them and ask for the discount. The worst that can happen is that they say NO, but on the upside you can get the guitar that you want at the discount.

For the record they say no, if they ask you to wait 1-2 days for a decision, don't bother!

Got a slightly damaged MIM Tele silver color with garbage alnico korean humbuckers for around $300 on Amazon warehouse last year. I snagged an EMG 57/66's at a great price and the guitar is now awesome as it can finally deal with super high distortion/overdrive. Gotta be patient and hit the used market at the right time.

Pardon my ignorance but what's the difference between these two? Just the shape? Why would you prefer one over the other?

I would say the Strat is more popular. It is more versatile with three pickups and a five way switch. Each pickup has a different sound. It also has a whammy bar, which I wanted as a beginner, but now don't really mess with too much. It has a floating bridge which does complicate things a little bit for a beginner as far as setting it up goes.

The Telecaster is more twangy (think country) but it's also what Tom Morello has used for his heavy drop d songs. It has only two pickups with a three way switch. The bridge is flush with the body and does not move, making it a little easier to setup and provides more tuning stability.

They're different enough that people will own both a strat and a tele. But guitarists will also own multiple strats.

Long story short, you really can't go wrong as a beginner.
