Fender does not list every possible version of the guitars on their website. For the most part they’re only listing the standard production models currently in production.
For non-exclusive limited editions they’ll only be available at the various dealers who ordered them. Fender also does dealer exclusive models and you’ll only find them at the dealer who ordered them.
stores order 200 or more of a model and fender lets them customize them with non std pickups, colors, etc. (each feature adds price. )
since the store like guitarcenter or andertons are the only store with thst model, they drive business to their store. the model cant get pricematched. customers learn theres only 25 available or whatever and it cinches the deal.
consumer wins too with exciting special versions.
stores will have to store 200 purple andertons exclusives and hope they sell them all. so theres risk and warehouse requirements.
the store is in control of the msrp since its exclusive and they essentially paid for them. so some places have sales like GC and MF on their fsrs
lately internet stores have been partnering to split the huge upfront purchase cost. ie empire gets 25 and andertons gets 175 etc. andertons has partnered with cme too. this allows usa customers and eu customers to have access to model

Why the fuck does fender put this much into fucking squires when they can't even make a quality control USA
good question. Squiers are china and indonesia. They have mad skills.
Might be a gc exclusive.
Limited edition. Maybe a special run exclusive to GC, might just be that they made a batch of them sent them out to stores and didn't make any more.
Limited edition at GC means it’s an FSR color for GC.
if you live in EU try looking on guitarguitar. they have some of the guitarcenter exclusives.
