This was originally my post, and SD staff transformed it - now it says the OP is Staff, they changed the description, and reposted my original description as a comment made "by me"

Here's even the original link. Notice how the title differs but it redirects here: https://slickdeals.net/f/17118247-fender-squier-affinity-series-stratocaster-hhs-149-99-fs

I don't put a lot of stock in fake internet points but that seems like an interesting way to handle people's deal posts... and seeing them create a comment using my account is pretty creepy, full stop

Edit: According to the mod response, this post was made first by staff, they merged my (apparently later) post with it, and then moved my description in as a comment. That at least makes some sense but still kinda odd seeing a comment that I didn't create.

Black only, free shipping. Note that this is the HHS (Humbucker/single coil/single coil) pickup configuration, whereas a typical strat has single coil only.

The HSS picture shows a maple fingerboard, and the description says Indian Laurel fingerboard. Does anyone know what is actually being shipped?

I just looked. I think you'll have to ask Fender. They do indeed show a maple fretboard in the photo but the options and specs both say Indian laurel. I suspect you'll get laurel. If you don't, you can use it to negotiate a better discount! Big Grin

I completely agree. They should be able to note that the staffer edited the post, but leave the owner/author as the person who actually wrote it.

I submitted a Mod Alert on the OP to complain about this.

Mod response: "Thanks for sharing your concerns, if you check the timestamps on each post, the staff member was the first to post this deal, and the newer one was merged into it as a repost, to help keep matching content together."
