So I took it to my local GC and had them order me another.

Well, I got the new one today and it is all beat up. It looks like someone played it for a month then returned it. The nut was not cut properly obviously a factory defect , the saddles and neck pup cover were pitted and tarnished, the strap buttons had the finish worn off in spots and there were deep scrapes in the finish on the back. The string hole grommets were also chewed up. So, I contacted my guy at Fender and told him about the nut.

He asked me to go over the guitar with a fine-tooth comb while I was on the phone with him. That's when I discovered all of the other issues. He also had me check the Fender shipping box to see if it had been re-stapled. Guess what? It was! He said that it's common practice at Guitar Center for employes to open up new guitars they wanted to check out and play them and do whatever. He also said it was common practice to sell returned guitars as new guitars.

So he ran the serial number for me, only to find out that the guitar was sold to Musician's Friend back in June. Not Guitar Center who I bought the guitar from. What was odd was all of the damage and wear. Also, the protective plastic was missing from the neck plate and neck pickup. Now Fender of course offered to fix it under warranty. But I wanted Guitar Center to answer for this, so I called their number.

I explained the whole situation about it being a replacement for a broken guitar I had previously ordered, so on and so forth. I told them that there wasn't going to be a next purchase until they made this right.
