You can always sell this 2 years from now for what you paid for it or more.
This is a deal for a solid guitar. The quality and resale value make it great buy.

As long as the guitar holds its tune it shouldn't really matter much which guitar you use. This one should definitely be able to hold its tune.
The kids and I got started with Rocksmith with $60 Monoprice guitars. As long as you are willing to file off the fret sprout they work great for Rocksmith.

If you want a Fender, you want a Fender. You're probably not in the market for the best value per dollar. Not hating on Fender, I have 3 right now. Most of their products are just wildly overpriced. This is a good guitar for a reasonable price, and one of the few models I've hung onto. My other 2 Fender models are Road Worn MIM, and they are truly something else, but you can't get those anymore.
Just take it to your music store and pay for a set up. (call around, prices vary widely)
They can set the saddles so the intonation is good and adjust the action to play without buzzes. They can also check for fret issues so doing it right away can help you decide if you need to return it for some odd major flaw.
It might cost $30-100 for a setup depending on where you are. The place I go used to charge 35 now they charge 65 :-/
I sort of regret buying a bunch of guitars, I have to change more strings than I'd care to. The joy I get from owning 10 is only 1-3% higher than the joy I got from owning 1 all set up with fairly perfect intonation up the neck.
When tuning with a floating trem, the trem moves when you tune, putting everything out of tune as you continue tightening the strings.
Every now and then I get the urge to just sell all but one guitar and go back to a simple life. That's just a fleeting dream though. Closest I've gotten to one guitar that does everything I need is an Ibanez s621qm, which is bizarre because the fretwork out of the box was terrible and I hated the pickups. Something about the lightweight body and playability of the neck just makes me pick it up though. Spec wise, it wasn't at all what I was looking for, but I got it to fulfill a need and it kind of stuck.
