I know some of this has been covered, but throwing this out there anyway as someone who has actually (delivered today) purchased this deal.
1. Brand new guitar. Unopened Fender box inside Adorama box. Not B-stock.
2. This isn't old stock they are clearing out. MX21.. serial, made this year.
3. Someone mentioned this being 75th anniversary edition. It's not the 75th anniversary edition. That one has a painted headstock, and the neck plate says 75th on it. This one does however have the "Fender 75" logo on the back of the headstock signifying the 75th anniversary.
I have owned mostly squiers, epiphones, and I had a Fender Duo-Sonic. I was not expecting this guitar to be that much better. I was wrong.
The finish is absolutely perfect. Color is beautiful. No issues with neck pocket cracking. The gloss finish on this maple fretboard seems less "thick" than was on the duo-sonic I had (also an Adorama LPB special). Plays better. The shiny chrome frets are super smooth along the neck. I literally can't find anything wrong with it and it feel amazing to play.
I know some people have issues, and maybe I just got really lucky with how great this one is, but I'm super happy with the purchase. A little tuning out of the box and it was ready to go, I don't think there is any setup even needed. By far the easiest guitar I've played and the pickups sound amazing on clean.

I got a similar Mexican strat from them and it seems great to me, but I'm more of an acoustic player so maybe not the best judge
I had the LPB Duo-Sonic from Adorama a few years ago and it was beautiful. Wish I never got rid of it but wanted a trade at the time. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the strat this time but I really want something with a humbucker. The GC special is nice but costs quite a bit more on sale.
FWIW the previous thread said they were getting made in 2021 stamped guitars. Not 3 year old, old stock. Yes, Adorama has had this color on sale on and off for awhile (not 3 years, more like a year and a half). They do make guitars in the same color for more than one year, it's not uncommon.
