I just want to know if it had a Bi-flex truss rod, the product page doesn't seem to say anything about it. I have read somewhere that fender uses biflex on most american series, but I'm not 100%.

Here is where I was looking:

The one I used to have didn't. It doesn't have micro tilt either as mine needed a neck shim.

The Bi-Flex truss rod and micro-tilt adjuster are two of several features that differentiate the American Standard and Deluxe from the Special. The American Special/Highway 1 is supposed to be a stripped-down MIA guitar, so in order to keep costs down certain features/options had to be eliminated.

Only the basic key features such as the modern "easyglider" string retainers and medium-jumbo frets are kept.

Personally I'd put standard butterfly string guides for a proper vintage look.
