Ladies and gentlemen... boys and girls... children of all ages...

What's up guys and gals. It's been awhile. I've been taking a year or so hiatus from the music scene. No guitars, bands, gigs at all. To say I was Completely burnt out, was an understatement. But that's all a different story for a different time...

Last week, I was looking on the net for some last minute Christmas ideas, when I decided to get on the "bay". Just for S&G I decided to look for some pieces for my sons guitar I'm building... it's a graduation present for when he gets out of high school. He's only a junior, so it's a slow journey... when a guitar caught my eye. A Near Mint condition 2011 Fender Highway One Stratocaster w/ case and candy for a buy it now of 750 or make an offer, all with free shipping... upon closer inspection, I discovered it had one of those TSA cases that fender had a few years back. I immediately closed the window...

Over the next few days, this dang thing was all I could think about... ugh... another guitar... I tried to rationalize that I didn't need another guitar... But, I always wanted one of these... But I have way too many now... but I always wanted one of these... I haven't played any of them, minus one, in forever... but I always wanted one of these... We haven't played or practiced in forever... but we're getting together after Christmas... AND I've always one of these...

Needless to say, I got on and made and offer... what could it hurt? If they don't except, it just wasn't meant to be. Keep in mind, when making offers, I don't counter. If you don't take what I offer, I walk away.... *text alert* offer excepted, please pay now.... Hmmm. I'll be damned...

Three days later... and because I've bored you all enough... this was sitting on my porch...

and after looking this thing over from top to bottom... this is the ONLY mark I could find, that I would consider making it "Near Mint"

That's in relationship to my thumb. Anyway, Thanks for looking!
 
Re: NGD...

That's great, good luck with it! Now you have to take it on an exotic trip somewhere to get the case broken in
 
Re: NGD...

Oh my

Looks sweet

What was the final offer if you don't mind

If you don't want to post in open forum, I'll understand
 
Re: NGD...

Thanks!

Oh, I don't care. There's people that will think no matter what you pay, it was too much... and some that will always think it's a good deal. I have one of these cases, and if I recall correctly I think I paid 120 for it... so I took that into consideration... I got it all for 680
 
Re: NGD...

Cool guitar and case! The TSA case bundled with Charvel is the thing that keeps me from selling it.

Is HW1 closer to MIM or American Std? Being the least expensive...
 
Re: NGD...

From what I can remember, they were like $750ish without a case... came with a gig bag... back in their day. It's was the cheapest American strat you could buy... basically this is an American Special with a nitro paint job. So I now have a 2011 Hwy 1 and a 2013 Am Special, both in TSA cases and paid less that $700 for both.
 
Re: NGD...

That's a real nice guitar and I love the satin finish...looks real sharp. I'm a big fan of Strats (I own 9). The one in my avatar is a 2005 American Standard Strat that I paid just over $1,000 with hardshell case. You got a really good deal on your guitar!

Re: NGD...

Yeah I know... I should be ashamed for even thinking that... but seeing as I only gig with humbuckers, I'd have to route the body and all that shiz. I'd like to have one to mod, and keep this one like it is.
