Looks like it's $599.99 everywhere that has it, but very few places have the Imperial White. Probably a close out, or specific to guitar center/musician's friend.

The signature guitar of multi-instrumentalist Omar Rodríguez-López.
Designed in collaboration with Omar Rodríguez-López of The Mars Volta and At the Drive-In, the Mariposa from Sterling by Music Man is a true stunner in both looks and sound. A unique body shape and pickguard provide an eye-catching visual while locking tuners, three way switching and two humbucking pickups controlled by separate volume knobs deliver virtually endless tonal options. With plenty of versatility to explore, the Mariposa electric guitar lives up to the standards of the talented band leader turned solo artist.
Features
Nyatoh body
Bolt-on maple neck
Rosewood fingerboard
Custom Ernie Ball Music Man humbuckers

Be warned, with these stupid deal of the days you could be getting a floor-model (i.e. used condition / demo), returns (i.e. used condition) or B-stock guitar shipped from a random Guitar Center (the owner of Musicians Friend). Guitar Center only considers items "used condition" when they were brought in by a customer and sold to Guitar Center, and will sell floor model and returns as "new condition" with "deals" like this (whereas other online retailers like Sweetwater label things appropriately as used or demo models). Its a shady practice that Guitar Center pulls with Musician's Friend as a front that I can personally say I've fallen victim to and has also been called out on the "Know Your Gear" YouTube channel (its not just me).

1- you can simply ask chat before you make the purchase if it's a floor model. They always answer me quickly with no issues.
2- if you get a floor model you can just return it. no real risk here

Cool shaped guitar. Sterlings are great players and hard-to-beat for the cost 👍

Really cool looking quirky guitar. Nice to see other than just 3 guitar shapes.

In for one. I've never had a Sterling OR a Musicman so figure I'll dip my toes on this model. Having a ton of available points didn't exactly discourage me either!
