The first thing you'll notice about the Highway 1 Series is its unique finish -- a high resonance, low gloss, acrylic lacquer that lets the tone ring out and sustain for days. You should also know that the US Hwy 1 is an American-made guitar at a low price! This version has an Atomic(TM) humbucker for hot leads and massive rhythm parts, plus 2 alnico, staggered pole piece single coils for a classic Strat sound. Other features include an Alder body, a modern 'C' shape Maple neck, and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo.
