I was wondering if the experts here could help me confirm that the body on the strat looks original to the guitar. The ware is consistant on the neck and body which leads me to believe they were shipped this way. The serial number on the neck comes back as 2003 Corona CA factory. Any input would be greatly appreciated appreciated.
Thanks

Looks like an early Highway One Strat, someone else was looking at one that color on here recently, think they had that color in like 2003.

Thanks for the input! Looking at the photos I think ya'll are right. I've been playing a 1976 Tele for the last 15 years, but since I have had kids I am afraid to leave it sitting out. I had been playing an Ibanez for the last year, but missed my fender and always wanted a strat so there ya go.
Thanks Again

You guys are good. :!: Just from the four pictures the OP posted (none of the head stock), I would have guessed MIM. If you wouldn't mind, just for my own education and enlightenment, how do you tell it's a Highway One? Maybe the finish?

Thanks & Cheers!

For this particular one I went off the color, bridge, and the fact that the neck has 22 frets.

I'll give myself 2 points for thinking of the finish but I'm not sure I see the difference on the bridge. As for the number of frets ... Duh, what a thing to miss. :oops: So much for my MIM guess. Thanks, Jason.

Cheers!
