I saw this for sale used at Guitar Center.

I am pretty sure it is one of the 2 Shell Pink strats at NAMM 2011. The one on the top row in the photo below was sold to Guitar Center.

Being at NAMM makes it used?

Other shops sell those as new.

No,being at NAMM does not make them used.Fender Dealers could buy it at NAMM and sell it as new stock.Guitar Center bought it at the show and sold it new in their Platinum Room

Someone bought this guitar new from Guitar Center and later it was traded in at Guitar Center's Nashville store(a couple of days ago).

The Winter NAMM 56 stratocaster was an edition of 40 guitars in 20 different colors(2 of each color). These all say "Limited Edition NAMM 2011" on the neckplate
