I got the 3 ply black pickguard for my HWY 1 yesterday and it's gonna look even better than I hoped for. I was worried at first it might not look that good. I think it actually makes the blonde look a little darker. Definitely excited to take her to the shop and have all the mods done so I can get her back asap. Thought you might like this my fellow Highwayman.

Thanks dude, it's the closest I can get to a 52 for the time being so I figured why not! 8)

Single ply mate. 3ply is a 60's invention. My mexican baja tele.

Hard to tell the diff between it and a 52 without playing it.


That said your highway is one fine looking tele mate. Does it have the greasebucket circuit like the highway strat does? If so please tell me about it, i think its a great idea for a tele bridge pickup.

yeah i almost bought a 1 ply like a real 52 but decided to go for the 3 ply cause i thought the white trim would look cool. It does have the grease bucket and the bridge pup is super super sick. Really I think the Hwy 1 is better than the Am Std and I know I'll get a lot of flack for saying so but I like it a lot better than any of the 09 Am Stds I played. I know a lot of the parts aren't up the the standards of the AM Std but it think the HWY 1 pups sound better.

Your allowed to prefer whatever you want. No ones got a problem with that at all. The only time people dont like it is when you start claiming its a irrefutable fact. I even made a comment earlier that I prefer my mim strat to any of my american ones including my customshop. Its not like I expect anyone else to feel the same way.

I hear ya, I like the MIJ Strat I was playing for a while better than ANY STrat I've ever held and I know a lot of that had to do with the Pups in it. But you know how some people blow their top whenever you say anything good about a guitar that is MIM, MIJ or other and compare it to an AM Std.

I'm working up my confidence man, one day I'll post a video but I want to wait until I know at least enough blues scales or licks to fill 2 minutes, because the sound of me improvising would make you all go deaf!!
