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.

The Tom Delonge isn't going to go up much in value. Get the Hello Kitty Squier Strat, which is basically the same guitar only 1000X more punk rock and upgrade the tuners and pickup.

From my reverb messages with FGW, their "mint" items are the overstock inventory, and they add "might have some scratches" in their listing because they cannot open every manufacturer box to guarantee all guitars are in perfect condition.

From my personal experience, I bought two "mint" Aerodynes from the previous FGW deal. One is in pristine condition, and the other one came with the classic hairline crack near the neck pocket. FGW sent me a pre-paid label for the free exchange. And my Cory Wang Strat arrived in new condition this afternoon, with all accessories and certification in the Fender hard case.

A coworker bought one of these here in Nashville and loves it. I'm thinking about buying one too for that price.

I messaged them on Reverb about what the refurb was. They responded saying these were just overstock. No refurb needed and they are brand new in box. Mine comes tomorrow. Beyond stoked.

Confirmed. I messaged Franklin and they said they were overstock, not refurbs.

Just got mine. Brand new in the fender factory box. Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Case candy, all the tags, beautifully set up in the Covina CA factory. This was an absolute steal. Especially in the sexy surf green. Sounds amazing as well. Couldn't be happier.

Got mine yesterday. Same as everyone else said, seems to have come straight from the factory. Beautiful, well set up. Lacquer finish is SOOO smooth. Great guitar at this price.
