    You are truelly gifted and your not a vintage snob which is refreshing I rarely over compliment but Chris you deserve a"Hats Off" for sure on this bit of a stop on your guitar journey And yes things should start to open back up for the next leg of the experience Enjoy even the small things

    I also have a 2004 Highway Strat purchased that year. It's a white model with maple board (Gilmour fan here). And like you, I didn't hesitate to modify it with locking tuners and an ObsidianWire Custom Blender Harness. It was my first "real" guitar after a couple of sub-brand ones. I love this guitar to death and it also has a special connection to my late father.

    Hi, just clicked on a clip of you playing a solo and had to quickly swing round to make sure my Highway One was on its stand - they really could be twins! Corona factory 2004/early 2005 according to the serial number. I fitted GFS noiseless pickups and Planet Wave locking tuners and couldn't be happier - it's my go to guitar. Anyway, enjoyed your playing and great to see another "humble" Strat out there...

    It's simple to make the lower tone control a MASTER tone. Simplifies just like a Tele.

    I just bought a 2006 HSS rosewood. It's my first Strat. And my first USA made fender. I have a Tele Baja Mexi That's been thru the custom Shop and love it. When I first picked up the H.O. it was totally a foreign feel. But Now I have it apart cleaning it and photoing the guts. I'm looking for a video that gives me the factory pickup heights and cleaning instructions. I got a great deal of $500 and it's in excellent condition except for a few very tiny blemishes. I have a feeling this one's going to be with me for a long time. I'm subscribed now Chris and look forward to your videos. Is there one that tears into the Highway One a little bit more? Thanks!

    I have an old Blonde HWY1 possibly 2002 small headstock which I modded extensively. I replaced the tuners with the old style Klusons and the tone is more “airy”. I really like it!

    LOL! Fender should have "corrected" themselves about the finish when they were marketing the guitar: A 10 second Google found this from 2005 "The Highway One™ Stratocaster guitar features....a high resonance, low gloss, satin lacquer topcoat that lets the tone ring out and sustain for days."

    Hey Chris, hope you're well, been a long time since we last jammed at the New Inn lol have you ever fancied something a bit more modern such as an Ibanez? Sorry if this is an idiot question but I'm a huge fan of the Jem for flexibility in sound and never really got the whole classic thing 😁 great to see Abercarn finally being recognised for the hotbed of guitar talent it is thanks to you 😎 take care bud
