Model Fender Highway One Stratocaster

Intro introduced in July 2006, updated on the Highway One Stratocaster Fender Start is less expensive American made, and as such is much touted as an obvious answer for those looking for a guitarist American quality at a reasonable price.

Guitar some good sports facilities - including a number of suped-up "hot" microphones Singlecoil (reverse wound / reverse polarity middle position), a nitro lacquer finish, and Greasebucket Fender tone circuit - even if I think there are some problems with the design as well.

While the Highway One Stratocaster is sure a perfect fit for many guitarists, especially those subject to high gain of chaos (the microphones sounds phenomenal with a little exaggeration) I must say that I played for three guitars weren t consider this "very comfortable in the department of the neck.

What I liked Nice, nice finish ... In my experience people have never played the true start to finish nitrocellulose underestimate its impact on the tone and sustain, but to my ears Nitro finished guitar sounds richer, more nuanced sound, and only a little 'of determination. For example, when a hot alnico 3 single coils strictly pop, and pushing the sounding tube amp, or is pumped to a nice high-gain distortion pedal, I noticed that the clean tone lacked the warmth in a vintage style single- coil - not a big deal for someone who wants to push a heavy boot torn area, but failure can be for those who want the old school ST squawk.

Tuners work, too, and of course the Highway One has a large doll style size 70 - a feature that you can love or hate, but I personally could go either way. Now, make no mistake - as I always emphasize in my opinion, the shape of the neck and the comfort is very subjective and each guitar has a different font size, the preference of different neck profile and a different style of play - but this said, modern maple C-shaped neck on the path of a point (version 2006) is one of the most uncomfortable I've ever met ... and if you follow this blog know, I have played many Strats lately.

In an attempt to completely fair, I played in three of these guitars during the review process (if I had stumbled upon lemon), but I mostly take the motorway A strategy for the neck / keyboard / fret combination was basically this: the slow, sticky, and a little 'difficult to play.

The last word on all the griping aside, though, Highway One Stratocaster guitar features a series of excellent tries plus for American made start at a reasonable price, even if some of the tradeoffs that must be taken into consideration.

Fans of the mega-big band and big, fat neck could fall in love with the instrument as well as those who tend to travel in high-gain area.
