Here are some clips recorded with it. I normally modify my guitars but this one needs none. :D

Jamming to a Bonamassa Backing track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_R1D_gT ... _zq-xqyLHA

Some ambient holiness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU075XkZ ... _zq-xqyLHA

Comparing a Mesa Lonestar with a Mesa Stiletto Deuce II

And the latest one jamming to a Jeff Beck backing track that I made inspired by JB's Blues:

Let me know what you guys think.

I've noticed that you're also a happy owner of a pre-2006 Sapphire Blue HWY1 Strat and a Suhr Classic. Nice comparison between the two. :P



I wonder which kind of pickups the Classic uses... :o (HSS setup of course :wink: )

How about an interaction between a nice funky rhythm loop and a crunchy warm lead? :idea:

Hello Chromeface,
Yes I own that Fender Highway One. One with a Rosewood fretboard was my first good guitar back in 2003, sold it to a close friend. Saw this one at Guitar Center for little money and had to buy it. At the moment of this demo the Fender had Texas Specials and the Suhr Classic had MLs
I don't own the Suhr anymore, came back to Fender. I'm glad you like it. :)

The Select HSS has a compound radius.

This guitar came in 2 different guises, with the latter sporting a "channel bound" rosewood neck with 21 frets and CBS large headstock.

I had actually already watched those clips back when I was looking into buying a Lonestar Classic or an Electradyne. Still haven't made up my mind. Love that Lonestar clip. Epic tone! I too have an older Highway One and I love it.

Yes! :) I really like the one that I own.. I like the headstock better. I have never been a fan of the large CBS one for some reason.. but yes it looks great! :D
