Well it is pretty disgusting and nothing like amber. It's a pinky silver metallic with a darker pink metallic around the outside. It is IMHO the least desirable finish currently available.

Boy, no love around here for Sunset Metallic. Youz guyz gots no class.
Where you see pink or silver on this guitar, I don't know.

Sorry, its how I remember it. :oops: Perhaps pinky gold, with light red around the outside would be a better description?

Sorry, a little late to the party. I agree with those saying it's just a bad cut-and-paste of a Fender spec sheet into the ad. The guitar looks like a legit amber finish American Deluxe Ash Strat from circa 2013. If I'm remembering correctly the "US13" serial numbers ran from roughly March 2013 to March 2014.

No problem. Actually the red is much darker than how it looks in that first picture. Under stage lights Sunset Metallic looks pretty cool. This pic shows the depth of the red much better.

Going back to the OP, this guitar is kosher :)
OK, can't tell about the pickups being the N3s it will have come with (the pictures don't show in great enough detail).
The neck joint and neck plate are correct, as are the locking tuning machines.

And thanks for the adjustment wrenches info (sizes and part numbers).
I would comment that the description of the S-1 switching agrees with my 2012, not my 2013. The 2013 is different.
Like this:
S-1 Switch Down (On):
Position 1. Bridge pickup in parallel with Neck & Middle pickups in series
Position 2. Neck pickup in parallel with Middle & Bridge pickups in series
Position 3. Middle and Bridge pickups in Series
Position 4. Neck & Middle pickups in series
Position 5. All pickups in series
