highway 1 tele vs american tele

[aliensurfmusic]

Some H1 subassemblies and parts are constructed in Mexico.

They are finished in Corona, CA in EPA-approved, non-breatheable acrylic.

No, it's not about price -- it's about value for the price. The H1 at retail does not represent good dollar value, for the reasons that have been amply pointed out here.

My point is he could get a Highway 1 tele onsay Ebay for $450 and upgrade pickups and maybe the saddle. Also the thin finish has acoustic benefits.
