it's emulating a 70s headstock but it's a contemporary model.

the Highway1 HSS strat retails for $1,450 (Fender Deluxe bag included)

A bit ex... how do these compare to the Japan Fenders ST-43s?

Personally, I prefer some of the MIJ Fender over the Highway series.

+1

better quality for money, imho. however, iono if FenderJ make HSS guitars.

I've yet to see any.
The Japs are pretty vintage minded, most of em are SSS so far.

Fender MIM Floyd Rose strat

I am currently using a MIM Floyd Rose strat which i painstackingly grabbed from the swee lee sale. The colour looks sick, sage metallic green, but it sounded great even before i changed the humbucker. the action was abit too low forme thus i raised it. It's theperfect guitar for people who use the tremolo alot and want some versatality in their playing. retail price was 1350. I got it for only 675 and now its one of my main axe!

 

[wangdexian]

Oh man, Sage Green really looks good!
Congrats!

although Fender is renowned for its single coil tone, some humbucking models are superb tone-wise.

James Tyler Studio Elite (best with lead/split/parallel circuits) :wink:

hey he said reasonable price.....not cheapo price and I think JTGs are reasonable. :lol:

SE's rock ... my fav HSS in addition to the TA Drop Tops ... very strat-like when split.

"Reasonable price" kicks in if u can purchase them 2nd or 3rd hand.

agreed, they blend well with the loaded SCs .... and have a wide frequency response (to my ears).

for those who arent worshippers of traditional single coil tone. Can try out the steve lukather EMG set... H/S/S ... good stuff guys...
