Hi guys/gals.
I was wondering about Highway 1 finish and how it compares to other Fender guitars that are nitro finished... i.e.;
Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish vs Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish.
I really like the nitro finish on guitars, so HW1 having a nitro finish is a big plus in my eyes, was just wondering whether its gonna wear with time (and look cool ) in the same manner as "regular" nitro...

Thanks!

All the info you need a few posts down.

The subject has been well covered.

Thanks mate for pointing me to right place .
Sorry for spamming unnecessarily .

The thread has all answers I was looking for...

I have Fender Standard Mex, but I dislike the poly finish.
I think I'll get HW1 so far it satisfies my taste (finish+other specs)... I had one in my hands in the store (sunburst) but unluckily I haven't plugged it in to listen .
I'll rectify it soon . And if all goes well I'm gonna get myself one of these babies, hopefully in that discontinued bluish color (2007?)...

Welcome DKoor. Post some pics of that HW1 when you score it. Tough color to find according to one guy around here....... Mike

I'll search a bit on domestic market second-hand first... as new in store they sell for 780-820 euros here for cash, that is approx $1170-1230.

Dkoor here you go mate 635EU.

Thanks mate, I also think that thomann.de is a good suggestion, some guys overhere regard it as trustworthy online (and not only online ) shop, as they purchased some guitars, amps 'n other stuff from there and it went as smooth as silk .

Just checking in to say that in a way, I haven't disappointed you .
I ran across this nice SG Special and I traded my MiM Standard for it and added the rest of the price in cash...



But although this SG is a premium axe I will STILL look for a Strat as I'm quite addicted to it... and HW1 is high on my fav Strat list .

BTW Marry XMas to everyone .

Nice work, DKoor!

That SG looks the business!

Thanks .

I don't have that MiM Std anymore, however yesterday I acquired CP60s (sonic blue) - it is fine guitar, I believe me and her will nicely get along .
It'll make a good company to my SG Special too.

A little update on my initial thoughts... I've tried HW1, RW60s... got some experience both in reading and trying stuff and I've changed my mind.
I don't sought after nitro any more.
Anyhow back onto main subject, this guitar has a real strat tone, really nice.

Long time, no see DKoor. Hope your doing great. Fine looking axe you picked up. Thanks for posting a pic........... Mike
