That being said, this is the 5th Fender guitar I have bought from Adorama and 4 out of the 5 have been in a similar condition when they arrived. They are always in boxes that have been opened and re-sealed. They always have the tags and accessories included but often show light wear. No more than you would get if you bought a guitar that had been on display in a store but very different than when you buy from a normal online retailer. I have always wondered exactly what the nature of Adorama's deal with Fender is. This next part is only speculation on my part, but I have always wondered if these are guitars that come back to Fender from the retail channel and then are sold to Adorama.
Either way, not a huge deal but something to be aware of if you are picky about such things.
Other than that, the guitar is great. I am not sure I love the v-mod pickups but that is just a matter of personal preference.
It did come with the trem arm tip broken off. I messaged Adorama but they have not gotten back to me about that yet.

I took a chance on a Mystic Green Pro II Strat about a month ago (paid more than this), and I couldn't be happier. It's a great guitar. Fit and finish on US G&Ls is better in my opinion, but for this price, this is a lot of guitar.

I did it!!! After all these years watching deals I f'ing did it. Yes I didn't get the $999 ugly blue strat deal but $250 for the color I wanted will make me happy

People expect guitars to have never been touched. Weird.
Just imagine Joe Bonamassa works part time and he played your instrument for a hour before giving the blessing.

The strings on an electric are a bit easier to press but I always recommend choosing the type of guitar the learner is interested in playing. Being excited and engaged in your learning is much more important than the string tension differences for most people.
