Does anyone know why the Highway One series is the only series that doesn't have an upcharge for the Sunburst? I'm looking into buying a Highway One P-bass and I was just curios as to why it doesn't cost extra for the Sunburst.

Possibly to do with the fact that the Hw1s are finished in Nitro. not poly.. I'm not certain but it's probably part of the reason :)

I agree with Ally. It's gotta be the nitro. Sounds like a good answer to me.

That just seems like a weird reason. If nitro is so much more expensive than urethane then it seems like it would cost even more.

This is a total shot in the dark:

Do all finishes need to be sprayed by hand? Maybe its as easy to do a sunburst finish as it is a solid colour finish with a nitro lacquer, where as in poly finished guitars it's harder?

Who knows, but I definitely think that a Nitro Sunburst finish is far superior to a poly finish SB.
