I bought a 3 tone sunburst American highway one stratocaster off ebay. When i won it, i thought it was a American Standard(errrr) The paint on the guitar is dull as on every highway one. So i was wondering if instead of reselling it, i was wondering if there is really any difference between the American standard and the Highway One. Becasue if it's just the paint then can i bring it to someone to finish in with like a gloss?? But if there is a difference, then i will just resell it. Thanks!

I really need your help!!

I do not know if there is a difference in the bodies. I have a 3 tone sunburst highway 1 that I used turtle wax polishing compound on and that took it to a shiny finish.

Finisher may charge up to $200.00 to gloss coat it. The HWY 1 has a nitro finish on it and the American standard has polyeurethane.

Supposedly, the think nitro finish improves tone as the wood can "breathe" more easily.
