Here is my newly upgraded Highway One:

Image

Image

She began her life as a run-of-the-mill HSS Highway One. I grew tired of the muddy growl of the standard pickups and black controls on a white pickguard. I added Fender Custom Shop '54 pickups with aged white controls and a mint green pickguard.

Now, I can truly say that she sounds as good as she looks. After the mods were complete, I officially christened her, Carolyn, after my girlfriend of 5 years (soon to be fiance? :shock: ).

Hope the pictures do her justice.

Not very much, they price them up over here but I still got it for quite a good deal. And yes it is :)

Absolutely beautiful, tell me, how does those pics of the pickguard compare to seeing it in real life? I've not seen a mint pickguard in person before.

Much cleaner, not muddy at all... Classic Strat "jangle". MUCH better than the Highway One's, in my opinion.

The pickguard looks fantastic. I think the look best on any body that is green, red, blue or wood. I have seen them on white or black before but the contrast is too much. The mint green looks like an aged white pickguard... Creme with just a hint of light green. Very nice, in my opinion.

Here's a picture of my actual workhorse strat together with her younger sister:

The red Strat is a 1994 40th Anniversary Strat, coloured in Torino Red.
I love her !! My workhorse !

The blue one was a 1995 American Standard Strat in a very rare blue....ab bit brighter than Lake Placid Blue, but not Blue agave and also brighter than Electron Blue, but not so greenish like Ocean Turquoise... :?: :?: :?: .

The Blue one is already sold at Ebay...maybe the rare color was the reason for the high price i got on ebay 8)
