2002 USA Fender Stratocaster Guitar (Jacksonville in Jacksonville, FL

[removed phone]st year offered) Made in the USA Fender Highway one Stratocaster electric guitar in Saphire Blue Transparent with a rosewood fingerboard. Looks good with various small body paint dings, plays great and sounds spectacular! Feels like a vintage instrument! Here some web details--
The Highway-1 series, originally introduced in 2002 and re-designed in 2006, are made in the U.S. and incorporate a hybrid of hardware; the tuners and string trees are similar in design and quality to those on American Series instruments, while the bridge hardware includes a large sustain block and Fender bent steel saddles. The body finish is a thin satin-finish nitrocellulose as opposed to the thick polyurethane coating used on both Standard and American series models. This coating provides a very vintage look, as nitrocellulose was the standard lacquer finish for vintage Strats. Highway one Strats use hotter staggered Alnico III pickup polepieces similar to those on American Series guitars, giving a very bright sound compared to cheaper "ceramic" polepiece elements, and also feature a tone circuit called the Greasebucket, 1st seen on the Custom Pro series guitars; functionally similar to a traditional tone control, it provides a more natural roll-off of high frequencies, without the bass frequencies becoming more present as can occur with traditional tone circuits. The 1st 2 years of Highway one instruments resembled "pre-CBS"-era instruments with the traditional 50's/60's small headstock design, small frets and vintage color choices.
