Yeah....I'm crazy!!! Crazy about those Highway 1 Stratocaster HSS's!!!

I gotta be honest.....the guitars themselves are well built and are reallly good pieces of resonant wood; but the stock pickups SUCKED!!!

I changed them all and now they are AWESOME axes!!
I've sold a lot of guitars over the years, but these I'll go homeless on the subway with before I sell them!!!

The only one I'm missing is the DAPHNE BLUE one; which I hear Fender discontinued!




The pickup breakdown: L to R:

1: Gibson 57 Classic Plus, Fender Vintage Noiseless
2: Gibson 490T, Fender Vintage Noiseless
3: DiMarzio 30th Anniv. P.A.F. , DiMarzio Area 58's
4: DiMarzio Virtual P.A.F. , DiMarzio Area 58's
5: Gibson 498T, Fender Vintage Noiseless

These really are GREAT guitars to modify and make your own PERFECT axe!!

Hey! I've seen those before (hard to forget that family line up)!

No recent additions?

I've got one like the middle one, but it's still stock.

I'm real glad to hear that you are still fanatical about them.

Cheers

Nice guitars. I came close to getting the HSS Highway 1 but the HWY 1 I currently own felt and played better. If I want to mod it later I will have known that the stock humbucker would have been changed out soon enough anyways. Right now I am satisified with what I have already, although GAS is starting to get to me.

haha how funny is that.. my local store caught on fire as well.. where u from?? we might live in the same city... great highway one strats by the way...

Yeah! Highway 1's rule! Got mine last year, and love every bit of it.
I agree on the stock pups, though. Replaced them with Duncan SSl-1's and SSL-5, and now it really does it for me. The thing that sold me on the HWY1 is the neck - the jumbo frets really are something else for bending.
I also like the finish. Hey, your pix are fantastic, love the "family"!

Now that is a nice collection. It's cool how all of the solid colors seem to fit on the sunburst.
