SOLD 04/2019! This bass looks brand new so what's the deal? The Highway One series debuted around 2004 and lasted until 2008. All of them were made in the USA with the same high-quality and electronics and hardware as the American Standard series. The main difference is that these have a more matte finish on the body and neck and somewhat cheaper tuners but the USA quality is evident throughout. It's nice and light at around 8 1/2 lbs and the 3-tone sunburst finish over alder body is very nice. The maple neck has a rosewood fretboard with dot inlays and like-new frets. You can't ask for much more out of a USA Fender at a bargain price and it comes with a nice molded rectangular hard case.
