In fact, I owned an ‘80s era American model at the time I purchased this guitar, and it felt like playing a telephone pole by comparison. The one-piece maple neck and fingerboard is fairly thin compared to other Strats I’ve owned and played, with nice rounded edges. My Hwy 1 has an alder body and a maple neck, which, of course, is exactly what you’d expect for a Stratocaster. American Performer Strats are really nice guitars, but if you have a chance to grab a Hwy 1 in good condition I suggest giving it some thought. They were replaced first by the American Special Series, and now by the American Performer Series. The Highway One Series of Strats, Teles, and basses went through a few revisions before finally getting canned in 2010.
