I am now the new owner of a new Sienna Sunburst. I looked at 7 Siennas before I found one that looked right. I was desperate to get a brand new one in the box, but the two boxed ones had seams that bothered me. This one was a demo that appears to be made from a single piece of wood (or they did a great job at masking the seam). It has only very light surface scratches, but something about this guitar felt right when I played it. The scratches can't be felt (only can be seen under light at a certain angle), and they are just like the surface marks you would see on a clear coat of a dark colored vehicle. Typically minor surface scratches would bother me, but that's probably because I owned a black truck for years that would get scratched when I looked at it funny. Anyway, I'm glad to have purchased my first Strat.

That's some very fine looking lumber!

Congrats and nice ... one of my fav colors.
Unlikely it is one piece. Fender do a great job hiding seams.
You can pick it more likely by viewing end on if you can see thru the dark bit of the burst or from the back where it is sometimes more obvious. :D

Congrats on your first! Good looking piece-o-wood! Nothing like new guitar smell too!

Enjoy.

hey, You can buff those minor surface scratches out, there's a few products out there that will do this.

That sure is a pretty guitar. I love the Sienna Burst finish - it's one of the few current offerings that gets me excited.

The grain on yours is very similar to my 2010
