US-made "to the economy." Less time spent on the varnish, consuming labor! The varnish is microcellulose: it is supposed to let the wood breathe, at least more than usual varnishes fender.
22 jumbo frets
Vintage bridge
Micro are alnico, the neck pickup can not adjust the height without removing the pickguard.
The rest of the TV classic.

UTILIZATION

After comparison with Ash and a custom lite Mex .... without hesitation the handle of the Highway One is a great comfort.
The jumbo frets make it easy to bend, it takes a little getting used to the slides. The access is easy to acute.
It is not particularly heavy but tends to bite the head, which can cause tension in the left arm over time. But hey if it can catch up the muscles!
The overall comfort is good.

SOUNDS

I bought a game more than my body fusion jazz, I'm ready!
Tried several times before purchase of tube amps.
The clean sounds are beautiful.
The neck pickup is known to be round, the tele bridge pickup is typical for me with a little something extra compared to other tele tried.
It sounds really good vacuum.
Beautiful sounds in crunch.
I play at home with a Hughes & Ketner 50 W which has the merit of not coloring the sound. So my zoom pedal can find just about the sounds you want.
Great for the funk too.
Saturation going very well on the bridge pickup, the TV is rock (of course) but even hard metal (note I did not compare with Ibanez and consors for me but here goes).

You will not sound bold, the microphones are relatively clear and well defined.
I have not yet found a good use of the tone knob.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month.
I love the playability, the neck, simplicity telecaster.
I chose to have something different in my body jazz, better than the copy of strata (really bad) of my daughters. I tried the Fender Stratocaster (60th Anniversary ...), a Godin G1000 (old copy of Start ... very good), a Godin Exit 22 (excellent), Jetking Ibanez, Ibanez SZ520, Lag Roxanne 200. When I got my hands on that telecaster I knew it was her. Later I confirmed my choice by trying two more times with a secondhand (I'll talk about it) by comparing with two other tele (see above) ... and voila! I fell in love.

Warning: the highway one tele-hand I tried was red, had a year, and the varnish was gone to the places of contact (right forearm and above the strings). The varnish is very fragile. That's why I took Honey Blonde. If the varnish from the wood will be visible in much the same color!

Conclusion: it is a purchase favorite, can not you will not feel the same desire for tele highway .... try anyway.

I do not give the maximum score for a better tele is probably beyond my reach ... somewhere!
