I saw a pic of a relic 60's Surf Green Strat with a tortoise shell pickguard and a humbucker and decided my Strat should look like it, well without the wear. It has Fender Hot Noiseless in the neck and middle and a Fender Atomic in the bridge. What do you think?

Thanks, it's pretty hot and balances out fairly well.

That looks very cool.
Highway one?
It doesn't have the 70's fat lookin headstock?
Is that an older highway one or somthing?

Yes, very nice.

What year is that Highway One?

Do you plan on relicing it at all?

Thanks for the compliments guys. It's an 07 FSR Highway One Strat. It originally came with Custom Shop 69's and a mint green pickguard, there was another FSR that was Two Tone Sunburst as well. I bought it mainly for the color, I've always wanted a Surf Green Strat. I had another HSS Highway One at the time, I preferred the sound of the Alnico 3 pickups and the Atomic humbucker as opposed to the Custom Shops, so after I sold the sunburst one, I added the Noiseless pickups and a DiMarzio Super Distortion with a white pearl pickguard, but I didn't like the SD, I've never liked DiMarzios, so I don't know why I wasted my money. I saw the pic of the Custom,Shop Strat and I picked up the tortoise shell pickguard and Atomic Humbucker. Anyway, so this thing is now a monster and pretty quiet at the same time. I'm going to let it relic naturally, I may do a relic project though.

Did you just buy this, is it a brand new guitar and being a Highway One I assume it's made in the USA right?
