Hi gang

Here is a question that may seem odd, but I was wondering,what year my

Highway One Strat is considered.

The serial number is Z5221486 ,hence it would make sense that it is a

2005 model ,but it has the 60th anniversary medallion on the back of the

headstock, (small pre- 2006 upgrade), leaving me to believe that it is a

2006.

I know that it was bought brand new on March 17 of 2006.

Also, it has staggered pole, vintage? pickups. Can someone please tell we

what the specs or true description of what pickups I have or lead me to a

download link, of the specs please.

Thanks all

JASTER

:D :D :D

Most likely the parts were from 2005 but was final assembled and stamped in 2006. Is the head stock the large 70's or the small 50's/60's?

I was in the exact same situation. I bought a new HSS Highway One in March of 2006 (from Interstate Music). It has a Z5 serial number and the 60th medallion like yours. When I took it apart, I found out that it was made in November of 2005. It probably wasn't shipped out until 2006, hence it got the medallion. I call mine a 2005 because of those neck and body dates.

Check out your neck and body dates, it's probably similar to mine.

One more reason to show the parts were made long before assembly...
