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 realize this is of little value to the thread but there it is anyway.
True there is better stuff for the money….

Even if you were recording or gigging I am not sure you would *need* this upgrade. Many people perform and record with less expensive instruments.
It is more about what you want and what inspires you.
That being said, if you really felt you needed an upgrade an interesting option would be to grab a loaded pickguard from Fender using their 30% deal today.

And it looks like the 3 color Sunburst is no longer available.
Anyone know if Musiciansfriend will match the price? Adorana credit card gives 5% off but MF rewards is 8% back.
