hey dorimar,

welcome to the forum

well for starters, at first glance the hwy1 will have a mat finish (no shine). Also the hwy1's 6 strings have to share 3 saddles whereas the standard has six saddles (and the bridgeplate says FENDER in fancy writing) and the 3rd most major difference would be price... being a lot cheaper, most would say inexpensive. there are more technical factors but just go to the products page and do some reading... have fun!!

one more thing... the american standard comes in more colour options

Check constantly Fender's products section and read the specifications. After a while you gonna get familiar to all the different models and will be able to tell them apart easily.

A few tips: Paying attention to the number of frets, inlays (the American Deluxes have abalone inlays) the kind of bridge and saddles, kind of machine heads, truss rod adjustment on the headstock, and color options or the body.
