Maybe someone can help me with mine also. The serial numbers say 2001 but it hasnt been played. I won it at a fundraiser. But I cant find any colour like this online.for this year model. They are usually more teal and they dont have the small metalflake in the paint.Thanks in advance

Ok, I tore this thing down today and I can't find any evidence of a partsocaster. Please check out the new photos I put up on photobucket and see if you agree with me. I'm wondering if this is a special or maybe some kind of highway 1.

Roadking thats a nice one. I still havent found the name of the colour.some say surf pearl and some say surf green.I am still loking for another like it on the other post.

Hey Justus,
That's a fine looking guitar, I like the maple fret board and I think it is the surf green. I'm not sure whether it is one or the other, I'm not even sure what mine is at this point. I'm hoping some one can tell me what model it is.

Thanks Roadking,I have been playing for a few years and I could just dream of owning something this nice.My next step up was going to be a used MIM strat or tele.I womn this one last week and it was donated by a Fender exicutive for tha Multiple Sclorosis Society of Portland. I am so happy.I wrote Fender a thank you and maybe I can find out some history.

Well I got a reply from Fender customer service. Here is what this guitar is.

Do you just write customer service a letter? Or do you call them up. I would send them a stamped envelope if they could send me that kind of information.That was great. Thanks

Its a 2007 Highway One Stratocaster and you can see it has the " grease-bucket " wiring that all the Highway One Stratocasters have ,, enjoy it it is a USA Made Guitar

Hi RoadKing: gosh, well I'm so glad I put the bit about being "happy to be corrected" in my first post!

Far as I was aware the small headstock meant it couldn't be a HWY1 at that point in history - so that just shows the limitations of doing detective work from photos on a website, doesn't it?

Glad you got your answer.

Now. If only Fender's database was available to us all over the net...

Cheers - C
