I think the new ones have what are called a 'full steel block.' Same/similar to something like the Callaham high mass blocks? Opinions as far as tone/sustain?
Thanks

It's certainly a "full size, full mass" block Chris, but I don't know what it's made of. It's one of the reasons I bought my updated Highway. I'm sure I've read elsewhere that it's not solid steel - it's infused with copper or something..

Likely a cast block on the Highway One, nothing like a Callaham. :idea:
