Is this a good find?

[MikeS]

03 MIA Fender Highway 1 Strat (used, of course)

Mint condidtion - not a scratch or dent of any kind in the finish. Plays very well, quite comfortable. This guitar was very well taken care of. The only thing "wrong" with it is that the knob for the pickup switch is missing. Big deal, I've got some spares.

Neck is very comfortable and I was pleased to see rolled fretboard edges (something that my MIM Tele does not have). Satin finish is fast, and the medium jumbo frets are slightly larger than the frets found on standard strats.

Guitar and a slightly used SKB Deluxe Strat case for $400.

Re: Is this a good find?

It sounds like a decent deal to me. Especially if you like the instrument. My own take on used guitars is that NO used instrument is worth over about $400 (and some are less!). Anything that you pay over $400 you pay because you want the instrument. I don't remember exactly what Hwy 1 Strats were going for new, but I believe it was around $500. Sounds like a good buy.

I would always try and talk it down as much as possible, but it sounds like a good deal to me.
