Don't buy it mate. There's not enough details provided. I don't know if that's intentional or not. It's not a particularly good price either. Pass.

Do not worry my friend, you will find a good strat for cheap (Southwestern), but does not hesitate to try before you buy.
I do not know if I have chosen my Strat or if she chose me!
When in doubt, leave it, the true lovers of the Strat does not betray you.

One guy on the Marshall forums said it is a 2005 Highway One, which I may consider grabbing since it is at a cheap price, and perfect for me as I played a Highway One before :D

That the price for an HO , not a deal . I would pass. Same price or close you could have a American Standard.

That very well might be a 'cheap' Strat. You want one that isn't too dear.

It is in fact a Highway 1 it had Alnico 3 Hot pickups and a Grease Bucket tone system.
It has one of my favorite necks with jumbo frets.
Its the same as the American Special only with nitro finish that will flake and scratch easier.
Since its in your area if you won the bid and had to pick it up...
You could go play it and check it out before buying.
If it sucked I guess you could not go through with the transaction.
The seller does have a good feedback history so he is trustworthy
Take an adult so no one knocks you in the head and takes your money lol.
I don't think these came with cases so check the neck pocket well for cracks in the body.


PS edit: I read further and it has a case that's a plus.

Yes it does come with a case, I'm gonna talk with Geoff at RTN Studios for a cheap guitar cab as well, I'm particularly looking at Baez cabs since some guys say they're better than Marshall cabs, but Marshall is louder. lol

Donny is on the mark with this one. It's the second version of the Hwy1. I own an '06. These are great guitars, but the price they want is too high. I'd pay about $500 for it. Also, to the best of my knowledge, they come with a gig bag.

I don't know how much they go for in AU but it is a hwy 1 and looks in good shape. I should be a very good guitar. In the US it would be 500 to 550. I love that color.

You could figure roughly AUD550-600 then.

I didn't know the AU exchange rate so couldn't comment on that.
Have noticed Highway 1's increasing in value on eBay though.
A real Marshall 1960 A is pretty tough cookie to beat.
Its one of the best stacks I owned as far as sturdy and dependable.
Its been since 1992 I had one though.
I really like the Line 6 stuff.
I use they're top of the line stuff but even the entry level is great.
My son used a lot of Spider combos and half stacks.
They are pretty incredible and dependable.
