IDK I have a MIM fender strat and its very well made
Guitar store based out of San Diego, CA. They're owned by Pitbull Audio and share the same location, they're legit.

I figured I'd share their deals because I've bought from them before and some stuff goes under the radar here. You can check out their reverb [reverb.com] feedback [reverb.com] if you're still unsure.
I have a regular player tele and a strat, may have been luck twice but mine are exceptional. Each below $600 delivered in 2022 from Adorama.

I've tried including some of the guitars I thought were pretty neat, though I am partial to the ESPs. Hopefully this deal lasts longer than last time.

EDIT: Fender Player Plus Stratocaster HSS sold out, yup
EDIT 2: The Noventa as well

Most MIM Fenders are a waste of money compared to equivalent Squiers. The Player Plus models are an exception. For the first time in a MIM production Fender, they include true rolled fretboard edges as a feature. It's not the only upgrade over the regular "Player" versions, but the necks on these are awesome. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Player Plus Fenders at this price. (YMMV with the lessor brands in this promotion.)

"OK, here's your job: we want you to take these Telecaster bodies home and dunk them in your toilet.

Then, we want you to scrape it behind you as you walk down outside concrete stairs."

FOR GOD'S SAKE WHY?

"So we can sell it for $5,000 ... well, $5,000 when it's 15% off"

Different strokes and all that, but man I can't fathom seeing this and thinking, "This is so much better than one that looks new"

I bought one ( mim strat) when i was in college (2015?) before inflation hit and when they were selling for 500~ bucks . I've had zero issues except swapping out the pickups. Best necks I've played at the time, and really good value. I still have it and play it sometimes though YMMV.

It's the online part of a local music store to me here in San Diego. They are very legit. I'll even catch deals from them on Reverb at times, and then just drive down to pick them up.

Adorama is awesome and horrible at the same time. Only horrible in that the deals keep me up at night and several instruments were bout at 4am when I decided screw it. I need sleep. GAS is real.

Agreed. I got a MIM 2021 Fender Player Jazz Bass as a customer return. Its quality is definitely better than the current day Squier equivalents.

It just slightly better in lots of little ways that add up to a noticeably nicer instrument on the whole.

Not that I wouldn't buy a current day Squier, but I still end up paying extra to buy the Fender Player models instead.
