I'm on my lunch break so I don't have to take it for a test drive, but I did notice a few changes just taking it out of the box.
The first thing I noticed that the box had an "Inspected On" stamp with the date of Nov. 25. Interesting. It also had a little green round sticker on it, as did the little box that the guitar head came in. Could be a good sign, maybe that means they're actually checking to see if these things are working before sending them out.
There are also three little green stickers on the back of the guitar, reading "PB3" and "PB7" that somebody crossed off with a pen. Never seen these before. Anybody have any clue what they indicate?
There's one (that I've noticed so far) scratch around on the screw holes, which may indicate that the guitar is actually refurbished. But who knows.
The fret buttons seem somewhere between the nice quiet ones from my first guitar, and the loud clicky ones from my second guitar. Good enough, I'll take it.
The strum bar feels solid.
I'll play Blitzkrieg Bop as soon as I get out of work tonight and see how well the guitar responds. Wish me luck.

Yep, the 360 Strat that I got from UPS today had those green stickers on the boxes and 3 on the guitar too (PB1, PB6, PB8). My guess is that those are just like the "Inspected By: #7" stickers you find in clothing. Mostly likely codes for QA inspectors.
And the guitar works flawlessly, so I'm assuming that they inspected and tested it before sending it to me. :)
