Fender Highway One stratocaster (upgraded) made in United States.
22 Jumbo frets.
Channel C '
3 pickups Fender Hot Alnico Single-Coil Start with studs spaced
Master Volume, Tone 1 (neck pickup) with circuit Greasebucket *, Tone 2 (bridge pickup) with circuit Greasebucket (* removes treble frequencies without adding bass).
5-way switch, reverse polarity middle pickup on, Vintage Style Synchronized Tremolo, Fender Tuners / Ping Standard Oil bath, chrome hardware, 3-Ply pickguard plate Parchment, delivered in Deluxe Gig Bag, Yep ... the flycase c ' is too expensive for that price!
Well, after the description, venont the chatter on the scratching!
At first glance this stratum is very well finished, polished ultra-thin, easy to play (thank you jumbo frets), the body is quite light, I would say even a bit lighter than the strats "american standard Made in United States or other" me 2 strats that have 70's and 90's they weigh much more than this one highway is probably becaufe there is a layer of varnish, instead of 4 see 5 on US other models, but the grip however, is very pleasant.
The handle C 'typical of fender is a real treat for beginners and experienced.
You should know that the highway has a new one! easily recognized by its head late 60's early 70's much broader.
So ... you ask me, but how are home to sell us a Fender Stratocaster made in United States at less than 800 euros! ... And it's very simple, 90% of this skyscraper is the original United States The rest comes from factories abroad fender, giving the right to stamp the fender highway one of the Holy Grail "made in United States."
Everything that is mechanical, wiring, pick guard, and tremolo, are manufactured outside the United States, (cheaper) but the fender is hard or is that the materials are top quality! everything else (not least) is, Micros, wood (alder and maple) for violin, polished, fit and finish are from the US stocks and are fully directed, edited and adjusted in fender United States, this which gives an instrument of impeccable quality made in United States at low cost no frills! I see already the owners of Strata "american standard" that is beginning to get excited at the thought of paying nearly 35% more expensive to manufacture their mechanical etched fender and their four-layer coating made in United States ... Gasp ! (I did go!) But hey, it's 100% though ... United States ...
You still need somewhere to save the children!
UTILIZATION
What bothers me a bit in this whole story is that my two strats, and my les paul have magically found in the closet of this Diablotine returned to shop ... and I play with more I love it! and it costs half the price! looks like the other, nerd! ...
The handle is like a "highway" highway that speak English, it's slippery fast and smooth! Notes take the road without problem! jumbo frets are to compensate for possible "slippage"
I have a handle maple fingerboard (white) matter of preference, it can be rosewood (ie black).
Treble notes are easily accessible, it's still what makes a stratocaster is a stratocaster!
Ergonomics is the top, stratocaster ever! Weighing as I said a little light.
Place to demo his ...
I got on Marshall JCM900 tube to know what is a relic, but my head amp combined with its 4-cylinder Marshall cabinet that gives you a kick in the derch!
The acute type 100% clear fender are a real treat the first position and 5th position, there is no doubt it's a Start! crystal clear sound purists will enjoy at will! handle the microphone position is found warmer than usual for a stratum, and that's where it gets interresting for fans of the big round sound in saturated mode! and that's a big news! especially for a strat equipped with single coils! I know not what they put in their pesky microphones alnicos but the range of sounds is crazy, it goes all the big fat round his attack crunch clear saturated! while maintaining its 100% strat blues in normal mode, and that ladies and gentlemen, it's called VERSATILITY.
A micro bridge position that fart louder and more violently biting, it is also rather interested, thank you for thinking of fender our young people excited!
In short both in classic mode or saturated they know almost everything, the small flat have high saturations acute mode, it "frieze" a little, but nothing very serious, it is already so complete that many would villain to blame him for this small flaw ...
I sell all kinds of scratches and I can tell you that I was still bleuffé this new version of the highway one! the former being too bland for my taste.
Last little thing that is important! if you scratching your fully expressed it is important that it be accompanied with a good amp! there is no need to have a super scratch and play on a dung receiver who will eat all the sounds, it's like having a ferrari and you Rolling on gravel path! try the store on a super amp!
It always makes me laugh to see the guys change their microphones home believing that their guitars have no potatoes, no need to put seymour duncan and single or double coils of the 30 watts of poor manufacturing! the amp is as important as the guitar guys!
SOUNDS
My style of music varies, I like the big rock sound, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, old school yes, but I have over 20 years! and I can venture into sound bluesy, a strat bah so it made for that departing! ask Mr. Hendrix, Clapton or Knopfler!
My favorite amp is the JCM900 head of our English friends in Marshall!
The sounds of this little marvel are both crystalline fat, thou choize!
I would hate something about this skyscraper, but the store so I have that are "famous brands" at double the price of one, see triple that can not his ankle, which frankly would be inflated spit on the one!
You have to see over time if the violin holds up, I sold the one I and many guys they have never returned!
ah yes! one thing I can blame him! ha ha ha, and although the patent is much more fragile than the standard strats Quadruple layer ... but there are so many people who loves to see their old instruments as Kurt Cobain and Stevie Ray Vaughan that even that, it becomes an advantage! then ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it every day! and when I do not use most is that I am out of stock! it is clear that the brand to Leo (Fender) made a full house and for good reason! the price at the qualitée always very well together!
It is very clear that if you are able to read my blabla up here that I would recommend this skyscraper, it's just not fun for others, but you still have stopped selling the expensive guitars that sound and less Well ... becaufe a big rock star with his portrait on the flycase ... right? fender and actually go! I assure you, I have no action in fender! word! even my friends "gibson fanatics" are on the ass! is to tell you ...
If you have 800 euros (you still have to put them!) And well go for it is very clear that it is better than the widely! Before our friends make us a fender comemorative and we increase the price to make a object of worship!
