Most come with a 7 1/2 radius neck. Ewwwww 9 1/2 Most arrrrre delivered in suck bad condition. Everyone I have set up needed major neck work. The frets need sooo much work.. Its like they just pour glue and clear right over the neck and frets ???
Saddle needed to be replaced in everyone. Dont know why they sell guitars that need so much work ????

Is that a Highway One? I believed they all came with 22 fret necks?
I don't have one myself, but over at the Tele forum (TDPRI) they seem to be quite popular except, perhaps, for the overwound pickups. I bought a 'loaded' HW1 body for a project and didn't care much for those pickups myself.. Sounded too harsh for my taste.

Yes HWY 1's are 22 frets...

These came out as the low cost made in Ca. Guitars.
I have played several and thought they were pretty good, I do have a HWY 1 Strat that I bought new years back, I think it's a great axe, yes it has the thin finish but I knew that going in. I would buy another of either if the price was right..
I am not certain the necks are true 7.5 radius as my #1 52RI Telecaster is a 7.5 and the HWY 1's are a different feel and style neck, nice but not quite the same.

| Chad, I've had my highway one for about 3yrs now. I really like it but it did have issues on intonation. The tunning on the 1st 2nd and third frets were terrible, I had to re-do the nut and was able to get it close to where it should be. Other than that, I love it! |
