I saw a Highway US Fender Tele and it wasn't that flash. Is it a good bargain? Well, you get a damn nice looking Strat with a genuine Fender headstock. Is it the best sound for the price...meeh probably not.Go try a few out. At the end of the day, if all you want is the word Fender on your headstock then I personally don't see anything wrong with that. If you're after tone then the only way to find it is by playing guitar after guitar. I must say, the Highway Tele I looked at was probably one of the nicest looking guitars I've seen in a while...and you never know, a bit of tweaking along with the right amp could have made it a decent guitar.Man, I forgot how much I liked that guitar until now. It's a shame that it sounded like a banjo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Ringo let me tell you the honest to God difference between highway 1 and mexican standard series. Hand rolled fingerboard edges, better pickups, made in usa decal on the headstock. Big difference? not really. Play on a mexi for a while and the fingerboard will feel the same. Mexican fenders are built in ensenada, mexico, american fenders in corona california. Either way your fender is built by a mexican, the "american" mexicans just spend more time and atention to detail, hope that helps ya. My opinion, get a mexi and change the pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
