Fender Made in USA, USA handle, Body USA, Mexico fittings which explains the cost deducted, Alnico V on the best version, guitar excellence, a great vintage look!Ģ2 frets, 3 pickups, the selector 5, while a stratum what.Ĭhannel super comfortable, it's the U.S., the highest quality Try a few out first to see which one "speaks" to you! astrowabbit rated this unit on. Every guitar is a little bit different and each has it's own feel. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone, but I would encourage them to play a Stratocaster first in person, then purchase locally or online and then count on having it taken somewhere to have it set up and everything checked out. Since this is priced right between Mexican and American Standard Stratocasters, I would have to say I would go up to the next level for a few reasons.īut having said that I have no regrets and this is a fine instrument for the price. Well after wailing for a few days I probably would. Would I buy another one if this one was lost or stolen. I don't like the setup from the factory but I expect that with any guitar and I'm sure once it visits my guitar shop it will comeout sounding sweet. Nothing major but my MIM Stratocaster was cleaner upon shipping. There were a few issues with the left over residue where the neck is bolted on. Well the finish is not as durable as the poly-finished MIM ones (but it to my eyes looks better). I sounds beauty with just the righ amount ovf overdrive in position # 2. I little stronger pickups system than the MIM Strat I had before. It reads Fender Stratocaster, Made in U.S.A. The tuners and bridge are chrome and have that vintage look to them and the headstock is a beauty. I went with rosewood this time but it fels comfortable.
I can see the wood and from what I've heard the satin laquer finish will improve looks wise and sound wise at the guitar ages. They list for $856.99 Canadian and I had orginally paid $ 549.00 for the Mexiacan so I consider it a great deal.

I traded it plus $300.00 Canadian for a Cocoa Highway 1 Stratocaster. I had a black 2002 Mexican Stratocaster with maple neck. With new pickups, this becomes a professional-grade instrument. The low price point, the 'Made in USA' aspect, the very exacting construction, even for an American Fender, the increasingly rare trans nitro treatment, and the name 'Highway 1' all suggest to me that Fender wanted this to be a guitar that young players got their hands on, fell in love with, and never really put down.

I like how they used two American Series string trees on this one even an American Standard that you go out and buy new today (2011) only has one. It's clearly built to stand the test of time. The construction is very solid on the guitar, especially in the neck pocket. With those Seymour vintage replicas soldered in there, what you have with a pre-2006 Highway 1 strat is a BETTER 'Made in USA' strat than the American Standard. They cost me $120, so the total cost of my guitar with true vintage reproduction pickups is $520.

I put a set of Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Flat APS-2 true single-coils into mine and now it SINGS. For the price, though, who can complain? They are still better than the pickups on most Squiers. They sound tinny in positions 1, 3, and 5, and they sound overly warm in positions 2 and 4. The pickups that come on this thing are (in my own humble opinion) under-wound and poo. The only downside to these as they come from the factory is the pickups. The tremolo seems to be of a very good mass, and the imitation bone nut does its job well enough, as the sustain is better than most other strats I've played that didn't have a Floyd Rose system installed. The frets seem particularly well crowned and rounded on the edges for a factory Fender, but that could just be mine. It's a 'C', but it's closer in overall thickness to the 'soft Vs' that I've played. To me, the neck is the centerpiece of the guitar. This is an American-made Stratocaster with a PRE-CBS HEADSTOCK!!! I can't stand those 'big peghead' abominations. It has a very spartan, utilitarian sort of beauty. The translucent nitrocellulose on these early Highway 1s is very nice looking, and does seem to be improving with age. The nice, darker wine red with the wood grain still promisingly visible erased any feeling of wanting that old Mexy back. I had previously owned a 1994 made in Mexico Fender 'Squire Series' strat which was fiesta red. I bought it at Brook Mays Music in Duncanville, Texas as they were going out of business in 2007 with hardshell case for $400.
It came with a white/black/white three-ply pickguard with all white appointments. Mine is a 2005 wine red translucent nitrocellulose finish.
