Frankin Guitar Works have Fender Cory Wong Signature Stratocaster in two limited colors on Sale for $1199.

Fender Cory Wong Signature Stratocaster - Satin Daphne Blue (WH) | https://reverb.com/item/79656545-...ne-blue-wh
Fender Cory Wong Signature Stratocaster - Satin Surf Green (WH) | https://reverb.com/item/79656852-...f-green-wh

Cory Wong Signature Stratocasters are basically AM Ultras modified to Cory's preference. Compared to Ultra, this model has a smaller body with satin Nitro finish, a slightly larger headstock, Cory Wong's signature SD pickups and a 6-screw bridge.

This is a great deal if you want the neck profile of AM Ultra, but do not like the noiseless pickups. Based on the previous FGW Fender Aerodyne deal, you are getting a new modified AM Ultra for half the price if you don't mind no Fender warranty.

Because it's an extremely well spec'ed US made guitar with a nitro finish for $1200.
Franklin buys up the returns from Fender. and refurbs them Sometimes they refinish the neck and stick a new serial number on it.... Sometimes all they do is stamp USED onto the back of the neck. yuck. Sometimes they dont and just verify things are ok.

Sometimes Franklin gets excess inventory and liquidates them.

But don't expect a mint guitar as the description says the one you get _might_ have some scratches.

I've complained to reverb in the past. Dealers selling refurbs as Brand New or Excellent. Suggested Reverb add a category called Refurbed. They were looking into it.
I thought about buying one, but I think it's the Wong guitar for me.

wow, that's a good deal. I remember getting anxious about the idea of buying one of those for $1600-ish.

Are you sure the body is smaller than an american ultra? AFAIK the american ultra already has a smaller body than say, an American Pro II or whatever.

I think so. Fender call it scale-down body. There is space around the body when sitting in the same Fender molded case used by Pro II / Ultra.

Nah. They just can't list them as new due to Fender's MAP.

Anything I have ordered from FGW listed as 'Mint' has come sealed new in the box. I guess they have to not say new on them for some reason.

Why buy a Fender if you aren't Leo Fender? As long as the artists name isn't plastered all over the instrument I'm fine with it.

I would definitely prefer an Ultra at this price. Not a huge fan of the two pastel colors.
