I bought one of these when they were on sale last week. It is a great value at this price.

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 would like to say that the above text completely describes my experience with Adorama as well. About 7 months ago I got an American Original 60's Jazz Bass in apple candy red from them and the instrument arrived in a crumbling, dried and faded out, scotched together, not factory sealed, tired looking original fender box (not double-boxed). The instrument had all the tags but gave the impression that it had been opened and used before, the guitar had a paint defect near the bridge (paint flaking off). Now, kudos to Adorama they took it back no questions asked, but, still, it made me apprehensive when it comes to buying musical instruments from them again.

Anyone ever deal with adorama customer service? I wonder if I would have a shot if I ordered the Strat if they'd let me swap it out for the telecaster? I'm so mad I didn't pull the trigger on that back when that deal was live last week 🤬

I don't know the answer but you probably won't be able to get in touch with customer service until Sunday at this point.

Yeah I tried- and I don't want to wait until tomorrow, that's how I missed the telecaster deal. I have an American pro Strat already- thinking of buying this and then trying to swap one of them for a tele

They are closed tomorrow so you would have to wait until Sunday which is probably way too late for this deal.

I just ordered the mercury Strat- I've wanted a rosewood Strat anyway (although I REALLY wanted that tele in mercury/rosewood)

I think I'm finally in as they have the color combo I love. It's about the same price used so in the chance I sell a small loss.

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
What color?

Not unless you also have a piano and access to an orchestra.

Got the other deal. Dark night/rosewood. Arrived today. 2021 model. Does look like it's been opened but plastic still on the guitar. Haven't tested it out yet but like gorgeous.

If you have the money start on a good electric and it will make learning easier.
