Here for sale we have a Fender Highway One Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Black finish. Made in the USA in 2008, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 fret Maple fingerboard. The guitar is equipped with a chrome 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo and Fender sealed tuning machines. The pickups installed on this guitar are a set of three Hot Single-Coil Strat Pickups. These are wired to a master volume, neck tone, middle tone, and a 5-way pickup selector.
The Maple neck plays very well, with Fender's popular Modern 'C' profile feeling fluid in the hand and providing comfortable playability in all registers. The 9.5" fingerboard radius strikes a fine balance between vintage-inspired feel and practicality for modern techniques. This is enhanced further by medium jumbo frets which improve the feel of string bending and vibrato techniques. The familiar lines of the Stratocaster body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, whilst the naturally aged thin lacquer finish feels smooth to the touch and adds authenticity to the vintage vibe of the instrument.
The trio of Hot Single-Coil Strat pickups installed in the Highway One deliver traditional Stratocaster sounds, with vintage accurate control wiring that continues the overall theme of the instrument. The warmth of the neck position is nicely contrasted by the brightness found in the bridge, whilst the often overlooked middle pickup provides all of the funky sounds you could possibly need. The famous Strat 'Honk' sounds are present in positions 2 & 4, completing a traditional but versatile as ever package of sounds for the modern player.
