I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary.

Fender highway one stratocaster hss series#
This model is available with a rosewood fingerboard only.Īlthough the Highway One Series does not have the S1 switching circuit of more expensive models, the hot rodded electronics of the Highway One makes it a great sounding instrument with noticeable improvements over some of the 70's models you hear in some of the great rock recordings of the past. The Highway One Stratocaster HSS has the same primary features and electronics as the Highway One Stratocaster, but also includes:įender Atomic Hot Humbucking bridge pickup for heavy-duty tones along with the Hot Single-Coil Strat Middle and Neck pickups. Vintage-Style Synchronized tremolo bridge 3-ply parchment plastic pickguard and parchment plastic control knobs complete the package. 5-way selector switch paired with Fender's Greasebucket Tone Circuit (which rolls off the highs without adding bass) with controls for Master Volume, Tone 1 for the neck pickup, and Tone 2 for the bridge pickup. The middle position pickup is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity. The neck has the renowned Fender fit and finish that makes it comfortable to play for hours and easy to get around the fingerboard at the highest frets.įender Hot Single-Coil Strat Bridge, Middle and Neck pickups with Alnico 3 magnets. Standard sealed/cast tuners Alder body with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets you see the quality of the wood and workmanship. Maple neck with satin urethane finish '70s-style large headstock with a black logo Modern "C"-shape neck 9-1/2" maple or rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets
The Highway One Stratocaster (also available left-handed) which features the standard Stratocaster pickup configuration of three single-coil pickups and the Highway One Stratocaster HSS - which features one humbucker and two single coil pickup. The Highway One models are hot-rodded versions of a '70s-style Strat with jumbo frets, a rounder tone and higher gain, as well as a thin-coated nitrocellulose body which allows the tone of the wood to come out. Instead, you get an excellent deluxe gig bag.
You sacrifice very little for the savings, other than the hardshell case that comes with other American Stratocasters. Although they are the lowest priced Strats made in Fender's US factory, Highway One gives you everything that made the Stratocaster the standard for generations. If you're looking for the best value in Fender's traditional American craftsmanship and distinctive rock sound, the Highway One Series Stratocaster is the best place to start.
