Hi everyone! this is my first post . Do u think that the highway strats are generally lighter than the US series and the MIM . I know the MIM are usually heavier. My MIM 60th anniver weights 8.5lbs . I had a 97 MIM that was also 8.5lbs . Never owned a US ,but the ones I picked up at shops weigh not much less than mine. I recently had a 2006 highway one for a week and it was around 7.5lbs, the body was thinner and the headstock was also thinner than the MIM, it just felt sooo light. Do u think this is common for highway strats??

first i'd like to welcome you to the forums (please don't tell us you're a carzy goo goo dolls fan :) if you don't get it just read some posts and you'll figure it out)

okay i've tried the highway one, standard, and the american and from my experience the highway one weighs less mostly because of the thin nitrocellulose finish, the american weighs second least because the poly paint is heavier than the nitro but it is fewer pieces of wood than a mim. the mim weighs the most because it is made of many pieces of wood glued together (which all of the glue from that weighs it down) and it has a poly finish also.

if you have any more questions feel free to ask. i hope i helped.

also post some pics of your highway one in the "Highwayone?" thread. we'd love to see it!
