I have a question regarding my U SA Highway One Showmaster (hum, hum and Floyd Rose) that I have owned since early 2004. I should preface this by saying that I am not really 'in the know' regarding the family tree and or origins of Fender models. I also should say that I am primarily a classical guitar player.

Anyhow, what I am wondering is that I have noticed a lot of similarities with my Showmaster and the Charvel line that some of my guitar heros from the '80's used to play. Is there a reason for any of this similarity that I am noticing, or just a coincidence.

I hope someone could let me know, it is just one of those things that I have been wondering about.

I don't think it's a coincidence. It was one of Fender's attempts to make a Super-Strat which were so popular during the '80s and later.

They aren't so popular anymore. I don't think Fender offers a Floyd Rose-type trem on any production models.
