MGR/CKMANNER « Fender Highway One Stratocaster »
Published on 02/01/04 at 15:00I bought the guitar at World Music in Nashville for $399. The people there are great.
The guitar was a demo model. It is in great condition, but I'm sure it had been on the showroom floor for a while.
This guitar is in transparent cocoa (it's not a really attractive color) with a maple fretboard.
An American-made Strat for $399!!! That's only about $50 more than a Mexi-Strat.
The guitar is in great condition. The people at World Music set the guitar up. No buzz, no rattles.
The most important thing is sound. And this puppy sounds great.
I don't really like the cocoa color. No big deal.
Fender cuts costs by using a thinner finish. But it does give the guitar a "vintage" look.
Perfect. I can't find any flaws. The neck is bolted in tight. The neck is smooth and comfortable.
I fully intended on buying an American Standard Strat. But when I saw the Highway One at $399, I could not justify paying $400 more.
Is the Highway One better than the American Standard? Probably not. The pickups are little harsh, but that adds to the "vintage vibe."
Is it better than the Mexi-Strats? I have played some good Mexican guitars, but these Highway One's have a smoother feel.
This is the best $399 I've ever spent on a guitar.
