Does anyone know if Graphtech saddles with 2-3/16" spacing will fit on a 2011 Highway 1? Or do I need the 2-1/16" spacing? The 2-3/16 Graphtech saddles are just a tiny bit wider than my stock saddles, will that make a difference?
Thanks in advance.

Graphtech 2 1/16th saddles were a direct fit for my 2007 Highway 1. It should be the same as the 2011 models. You will have to have the guitar reintonated once they are on. BTW I love mine.

I'm reading from older posts that the 06 and newer models use the 2 1/16 spacing. Thanks for your help, and the advice! I can't wait... :D

Too bad the Highway Ones had now been discontinued.

Highway 1s are now replaced by the US Specials.

They will be collector's items in the future. I have an '07 set (Strat/Tele) both
honeyblonde w/maple that I'm glad that I kept.

I do not want to disappoint you but for a guitar to become a collector's item it must have been produced in small quantities, or it remains a very small amount on the market AND it is something special that makes you want to collect.
I do not think this is the case of Highway One.

Times are ah changin'. If natural resources become scarce, all existing wood guitars could become extremely valuable, the Hwy 1's commanding a substantial premium!

My Hwy 1 serial number starts with US11, so doesn't that mean that it was made in 2011? I could be wrong, but that's what I thought.

No highway 1 was made in 2011 and probably 2010 . You buy it new in 2011 ?

I see. I've been searching for the year that Hwy 1's starting with US11 were made and I can't find anything.
