Got in on this last time around... the guitar I received was new, in factory box, and was simply perfect... only thing that I did was to throw on a set of elixir strings and it plays like a dream...

So I literally just bought a 75th Anniversary Strat from GC for 679 used but it is in pristine condition. How would that compare to this guitar?

I think these are b stock
Brands like Fender and Gibson mark B stock stuff clearly, and would never let any dealer advertise B stock as normal product.

That's not how this works, not how any of this works.

Quality might vary (which it does with American made fenders as well....) but these are not B stock.

I will never order from those creeps again. I ordered the Xbox Wireless Headset deal last month. The shipping box was undamaged, but the item box had a big hole in it, meaning someone there threw an obviously damaged item in a box and sent it to me.

I got a hold of their CS, and I had to take a picture and send it while on the phone before they would send me a link to a merch return form. I filled out, packed and sent off, it took them a week to refund my money.

This was supposed to be a birthday present for someone, so I had to run out and get another gift, not the one the recipient wanted because I couldn't find one in any store around.

I explained this to CS, and she told me they would issue me a $15 credit for my trouble. After my money got refunded, I emailed and asked about the $15. I was then told that the credit was denied.

I honestly was thinking about ordering a guitar and an Alesis drum set from them, $1400 or so worth of merch, but f##k that. They'll never see a dime of my money.

I notice you have to click on either stratocaster or telecaster. They are linked to the deal. The buy now button is not linked to the deal for some reason. I hope that helps.

I got this telecaster from a previous post and it came perfectly new!

Mine was just shipped today. I wanted the strat but I got the tele because it has better resale value. I already have an American tele in lpb but this mim has a maple fretboard.

These are new stock, at least new enough, mine arrived last month and it has the 75th anniversary stamp on the back of the headstock. It needed new strings, a small truss rod + saddle adjust, but certainly playable out of the box. No fret sprout / sharp ends. I think for this price it's a great deal, considering the inflated used market right now. Color looks very similar to Tidepool in person under some lightings.

I feel like this guitar has been posted on slickdeals about 100 times over the past 3 years.

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
It's actually 8 times.

Lowest price was $479.99 on 11/18/2019.
It has been posted consistently every 1-3 months.

I bought one of the strats. Its an amazing guitar, but it did need a setup. Definitely not b stock. These are brand new instruments. The color is lighter in person as others have said, but looks great. Definitely recommend. Mine shipped fast too. I got it in less than a week

As with most Adorama deals that don't involve a coupon code, you need to add &emailprice=t to the end of the URL to get the discounted price to display.

Sounds like a reasonable price if you like the look of the 75th anni. Check out the comparison between it and a Player Strat with maple fingerboard at this link:
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/...nniversary

The 75th has different pickups, possibly from the Vintera range, and a painted headstock and unique paint, but I think they're the same otherwise.

These are not B stock. I ordered one last time, but it had finish cracks at the neck heel. I ended up opting for a replacement and the replacement is perfect. That being said, I hate that they stopped giving the gig bags with the Mexican Strats, it relies too much on the styro bag to absorb way too much stress from shipping.
Adorama has been first class in every interaction I have had with them, and I have gotten about 7 guitars from them at this point. It's the same deal as last time, but I wager they probably get about 50 of these every quarter and sell through them in about a month. It's a good deal and if you like the color you can't beat the price for a new Fender. You can troll CL and Marketplace, but you are going to pay similar price and hope nobody swapped out parts.
