I don't know what the cut off year is....but the bridges on some of my 9 Highways are indeed 2 1/16 spacing......calling for the PG-8000 OC Graphtech saddles. (shiny Chrome...not brushed)
They are called the IMPORT Strat saddles in their catalogue. I think the bridges are Mexican made.
Some of my earlier Highways have the wider spacing....they are American made...

It's probably one of the last Highway Ones made a couple of months before the series being discontinued and replaced by the American Special line.

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!


In this case we will begin to collect wood, simply.

Minnesotastrats, you are right , you have a 2011 Highway 1

I manage a large music store in Montreal. Archambault Musique, when I saw Highway 1 guitars. The serial number began with US11xxx ...
The seller told me that these guitars were ever made ​​by Fender but it received very little.

That's good to know. I was worried I bought a fake or something. The Fender Support website says nothing about serial #'s that start with US. Thanks

I believe Fender switched to the US prefix on american made guitars in 2010.

The serial number list at Fender Support is in need of up-dating (and some corrections, unfortunately).
