My late 2005 Highway One HSS has two string trees, so that's not a problem. Those string trees were first introduced 20 yrs ago on the American Standard, IIRC.

I can't explain the color.

There were some special Highway One '50s reissue models that had the old two-tone finish, but they had the old small '50s headstock too.
