Fender Highway One Strat, honey blonde, made in USA 2008. The Highway One series was always really good, and like anything that Fender does that punches well above it's price point, it was discontinued. The recipe is pretty simple: a 70s styled Strat with the big headstock, slim C neck and three crispy vintage style alnico single coils, finish off in thin satin nitro. The finish marks easily and wears quickly, so you can see the rub wear around the edges already. It also lets the wood breathe, so there's a certain responsiveness in the feel and airiness in the tone you don't get with an Am Std. If you're after a punchy USA Strat that feels great for a slim dime, this will surely punch the ticket.
