My Highway one has a great neck. The quality is much better than Mexican.
I think I have an exceptionally good one such as five cuts above the rest of the USA ones. A friend of mine played it and said the neck was like his 50th anniversary American Deluxe Strat. I changed the Alnico 3 Highway One bridge pickup for a Rio Grand Muy Grande alnico 5 pickup which delivers tons of beef and power just As advertised. If I roll off the volume a little..I get all the traditional tele twang as well. This is my favorite guitar now.

I've played some Highway 1s and I thought they were excellent! I almost bought one a couple of times..... but I didn't have the $$.

I ended up with an American Special (similar to a HWY 1) about a year ago and I love it.

About a month ago I bought an MIM Standard Tele Midnight Wine. It plays a little nicer and smoother than my American Special.

It's really a GREAT feeling guitar! The pickups sounded great but were too dark for me..... so I replaced them with Fender Original Vintage Tele pickups and now this MIM is absolutely perfect!! Pure Tele Heaven!

So my experience with MIM has been great so far.
