I am looking at this stratocaster and its listed as usa and has a Z serial number. It's a 2007. But it has the large vintage headstock. Never seen that on a modern standard. is this legit? Thank you for any insight! Wanting to pull the trigger!

Looks like a "Special" as opposed to a "Standard"

Hi,
It looks like the body is lacquered painted, could that be an Highway One?

Yes! I often get the two confused, but the Satin finish might mean that it's a Highway One.

Good eye pretto84.

It's a Highway 1 - it has the satin finish, plus American Specials didn't come out until January 2010 (although the first of them carry 2009/"Z9" serial numbers).
