| | | Subject: | Fantastic Guitar! | | Quality:
| Build quality is excellent. Extremely dependable, as long as you don't try to dive bomb on the vintage bridge, which isn't made for that sort of thing. Very solid guitar. | | Reliability:
| I haven't owned it long, but I've had no trouble unless you count normal string stretch detune, wich occurs with new strings on any guitar. They stay tuned pretty well after that, but I also haven't done anything extreme with the vintage tremelo. | | Overall:
| The Highway One (upgraded) is an excellent purchase, I'd suggest it to anyone, new player or old. I prefer it over the current line of American Standards personally. I'd consider it an instant classic, but it may not be for everyone. | | Playability and Feel:
| Fairly light and well balanced in weight. nice wide neck, not overly thick, but also doesn't feel like a toy. Low action and smooth neck made playing very easy. Everything was easy to get to, as is usual on Fender guitars. | | Tone:
| Pickups are a bit dark, but still had that familiar Strat sound.
It's a Stratocaster and at the same time, it's own creature.
Like previously mentioned, a new classic. If you're looking for a purely vintage sounding 50's strat, look elsewhere or consider swapping out the pups. | | Finish:
| The lacquer finish is probably one of my favorite parts of this guitar. It adds a beautiful touch of classic feel. It's fairly thin which adds wonderful resonance to the body, and allows viewing of the natural grain. Loved it. | | Action:
| It was pretty much ready to go right out of the box. Excellent setup. | | Skill Level:
| Intermediate |
