For months now I was testing several Guitars (mainly Fenders) I wanted the best buy or my money, I think I can say I tried almost every Strat and Tele in my budget range. So today - I'm proud to say - I ordered the Highway 1 at my local GC!!!

"Better" is such an opinionated question and you will probably get recommendations for both.

I owned one of each in '05, I got rid of the Deluxe Players Strat and modified the (pre-upgraded) Hwy1 with CS69's and hardware changes. I didn't like the "feel" of the Deluxe Players, but to each their own. :wink:


How do you like the CS69's, I'm thinking about getting them sometime.

But anyway on topic, I would try them both and see what you like, but I know lots of people like the Highway 1 more, probably since it's just made in America. Just like someone else said the Highway 1 is more modern and the Deluxe is more traditional (vintage noiseless PUs).

I own a HWY 1 Stratocaster. I love it. Play'em both and see which one you like.

I compared the Deluxe Players and the Highway One head-to-head earlier this year... the Deluxe Players, in my opinion, blew the Highway One away.

The nitro finish was nice on the Highway One, which the Deluxe Players doesn't have, but finish alone isn't enough for me to buy a guitar which had, in my opinion, inferior pickups and an uncomfortable neck.

It's all down to personal preference, but to me, the "Made In USA" tag wasn't worth the $150 for a guitar I liked less.

My vote is for the Hwy 1.
I like the sound of them better than the Deluxe Player Strat.

Both are good but IMO the Hwy 1 is better
