I just acquired one last week. I really like it. I prefer it to my Highway One Tele and American Series Strat. However, if you don't like jumbo frets or Texas Special pickups, then steer clear.

It's a well built and solid guitar.


Why do you prefer it over the Highway? And did you get the one with the Rosewood or maple and why?

Thanks Bob

The American Special is only available with a maple board, which is what I wanted anyways (only because my Highway One was already a rosewood and I wanted a different appearance).

I also prefer the gloss finish - it's definitely more durable.

The Texas Special pickups have a great tone - fantastic cleans and good distortion as well.

There's nothing wrong with the Highway One....but the gloss finish, improved saddles, and Texas Special pickups of the American Special warranted the price difference to me.

I like both Tele's...



Thanks for the info. I'm just about ready to order one. But I'm still thinking about getting the American Special Stratocaster. I cant seem to make up my mind. What do you think?

The telecasters sounded nicer to my ears, but it's a very subjective thing.



It sure is. Thats the problem. I really can't afford either one. But I'm going to get one of them. :shock:
