The Large headstock HWY-1s have JUMBO frets. Same profile with a Modern C, build by the same craftsman at the same shop.ĭifference is the TR and the two string trees, and I believe the Tuning Machines are less expensive models also? But a GREAT Neck none the less.Īlso have the same Med-Jumbo frets on the 06 and back HWY-1. There are just certain things I like better about the 06.īut to get back to your question? Yes its basically the same neck. My 08 HWY-1 is a nice Strat, Don't get me wrong. I get some nice OD tones with that Strat. In 1962 they also offered the option of having a rosewood fretboard on top of the maple neck, a so-called rosewood slab board.
The stratocaster has had maple necks since the very beginning. This made the high E string unstable, too close to the edge of the fretboard. Let’s list a few components and parts in the Fender Stratocaster that affect tone: Neck and fingerboard.

The pre-2007 Upgrade Hwy 1's had much wider string spacing on the bridge saddles. fender used a double Greasebucket circuit on that model and it works Great. Re: 2003 American Fender Highway One Strat Seriously though, the problem I had with the older HWY 1 bridges was not tone. My 06 HWY-1 which is a small headstock, different pups etc etc than the newest version is one of my favorite Strats. I have never had a TR issue with any Strat? So IMO the older HWY-1 as you are referring to works Great. Access to acute single round can be very pleasant to play all at once with ease deconssertente. Which is basically a more expensive TR and a supposedly better TR? Fender Highway One Stratocaster 2002-2006 Published on 09/18/04 at 14:08 (This content has been automatically translated from French) Ba is the fender which its dechire. These still had the smaller fretwire as used on their SSS cousins that still had the small headstock. It was just an additional model in the lineup that had a different look. The American Standard has a Double moving TR. Fender evidently expanded the Highway 1 lineup in 2004 or so with an HSS Strat that did have the large headstock and 70s style decal. Though they are the SAME neck, they do not have the same Truss-Rod in the HWY-1 Strat and the American Standard. 06 and back the headstocks and basically the neck is a American Standard neck. The newest model of the HWY-1 which are 07 and 08 have the Large Headstock.
The 06 and newer upgrade nodels have a modern C satin neck.
