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.

Awesome deal, but I can't justify this purchase unless it gives me wrists like Cory's.

If this is Wong, I don't want to be right.

Nah. They just can't list them as new due to Fender's MAP.
You say 'nah' (they're not used) and yet from the listings for both colors on Reverb, sold by the same seller, their own words say:

"Up for sale is a Fender USA made Limited Edition Cory Wong Signature Stratocaster guitar in Satin Daphne Blue. Nice clean and fresh guitar will come with the certificate of authenticity and tremolo bar. Also will come with the original Fender premium molded hardshell case. May have some light surface scratching but in overall very nice clean and fresh condition."
