feels great, nice & fast.wish my les paul had a neck like this
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
tone is ok, i think it would be better with a pick-up change. great sound for blues or rockabilly. but a little light for heavier stuff

I bought his guitar over 18 months ago. I love this guitar and have reviewed it before. I will say it is my main strat. I own a Gibson LP DC Standard, and a 50's roadworn Strat.

Your general opinion of this product.
Let me preface this review with this....I own 7 (!!!??) of these guitars in EVERY color of the series! I'm NOT crazy! I just LOVE the neck, frets, BIG headstock, and finish of these guitars!
I thing the Highway One Hss is a very solid, resonant, toneful piece of wood.
The pickups absolutely SUCK!!! The tuners are pieces of garbage!!! I've changes ALL the pickups and tuners on ALL 7 guitars and now...they rival Custom Shop instruments!!

Made very well. I can't find any "shortcuts". I know that some may think the finish may count as a shortcut, but I think it actually helps give the guitar a better overall sound...Plus I love how the satin finish looks!

This thing feels great. The neck is smooth and fast. The action was good right out of the box. The pickups are great!

It is a Strat, so it sounds like a Strat.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
I love the finish...I like the satin paint. I am however, switching out the pickguard just to make it a little more personalized.
