La meilleurre RI 62... enfin ''sixties'' est une Higway 1... beaucoup plus proche au niveau qualité et son que c'est pseudo rééditions à la noix... (commerce oblige)... dans 20 ans une H-1 sera une série L
.. j'ai un certain âge et j'en ai tâtées des gutares...mais je sens un ENORME feeling dans ces grattes...
un potentiel extrème que hélas, les branleurs d'appaet ou ceux qui se fient aux avis de forums ne connaitront jamais...

Salut Teddy.
Jsuis pas trop d'accord avec toi,je possède une RI62,et franchement,comparé à une H1,ya pas trop photos.......
Je ne retrouve pas du tout le "feelin" sur la H1,ni meme les sons....
Bon maintenant,c'est tout à chacun.....mais la je pense que tu vas loin dans le propos.....
Je ne cherche pas la polémique... ça à déjà été trop servi en son temps, mais franchement Mr Clean, j'ai connu les pre-CBS et même (en de très rares occasions) des pre serie L... voici un p'tit bout de littérature concernant les H-1... ça rejoint un peu mon optique ''feeling'' ... à moi, bien sur
The Fender Hwy 1 Stratocaster, what can I say about this instrument? It is reasonably low cost for a Stratocaster,
and aimed at re-creating the vintage feel and sound of the early 1960's.......it is a great guitar, these will be sought after classics in their own time. The reason being: it comes with vintage chrome hardware, which looks and feels pretty cool, plus the satin lacquer finish and solid alder body with maple neck. It has fender's version of a "C" neck, a nice comfortable neck with rolled edges and a satin finish, not thick, sticky gloss polyurothane (it feels smooth). Nice neck radius (curvature of the finger board), which makes bending and solo work a breeze. .
Here is the kicker, it is finished in Nitro-Cellulose Lacquer, not a poly- or "clear coat" polyurothane. The serious guitar pros state that poly or clear urothane coat seals up the wood of the guitar in plastic thus constricting any resonance to the confines of that seal or finish. Nitro-cellulose is a natural finish, allowing the wood to breath and contract and expand, also allowing the body to resonate far beyond the finish thus generating more full body tone from the guitar itself. All of the "collector" Fenders (or a good portion of them) from the past that are highly sought after with "unreal", beautiful tone
are Nitro-cellulose Lacquer finished guitars. It is coated with a "transparent" finish allowing you to see the wood grain through the color, so that it looks stained rather than painted.
In my opinion this guitar was meant to be modified, the standard pickups are noisy, weak and the middle pickup is not wound reverse thus no reverse polarity (hum canceling/noise dropout) in the second and fourth switch positions like most all Stratocasters have. Install a set of Fender Hot Noiseless, or Texas Special pickups in this guitar and you have an American classic, an investment in a future Collector's Piece!
