They really are well made, and are very comfortable to play for one recording or a whole set of gigs. They play well, are affordable, and they sound just like I wanted to hear.
Quick Opinion: The 2007 and later Highway One Strats are great (previous ones were fine, but for this conversation…). The sound is unmistakable, remarkable, and pure Strat. This particular Stratocaster is a complete joy and has absolutely no disappointments. I’ve had Highway One Fenders before, and have always been pleased. I didn’t quite have the change available for an American Standard or an American Deluxe – so I looked at and fell in love with the Highway One. They’re a part of music’s fabric now – and are one of the greatest easy-to-customize guitars on the market… For every season, for every reason, for every musical decade, there are Strats for them since the 50s. Maple, SSS, HSS, HH, rosewood, alder, ash, mahogany, big frets, skinny frets, vintage headstock, “Jimi” headstock (would that be a Woodheadstock?), gypsy bridge, AlNiCo, ceramic, samarium cobalt, noiseless, noisy, Greasebucket, S1, roadworn… There are so many different Strats and so many different things about those Strats.
We have so many from which to choose… Made in Mexico, made in Japan, and made in the United States of America. Strats have changed over the years, from the simpleness of the 50s to the big-hair rock of the eighties to the current array of models.
