...the only thing i did was to restore it...
...from a vere bad condition...
...in all the levels...
...changin' pots, wiring, jack, screws...the floyd rose tremolo bridge  changed with a china one before the gutar come to me, a lot of pity because the samick floyd is a lot better than this one but i may change it with an original floyd rose sometime..with the changes of screws, pads etc..,is stable and stays in tune...
 
..the artwork is coming from Hag Art...

                                                                                         

...the bat...

...the bat is a project that refers to superstrat guitars...
...it consists of a two pieces alder body, a very thin and fast maple - rosewood neck, a pair of jackson hb pickups, black hardwear and tuners and only one pot - the volume pot with some modification...
...as for the name, i think....

...the highway one...

...the highway one project  is a true  vintage stratocaster project with  an alder body, a maple - rosewood neck, old korean hardwear, kluson tuners and the  fender 57 - 62 pickups...
...well, this is the end of the highway one project...
...about the name, a cousin of mine 35 years ago brought me from Virginia a hand made by an old American man, scratch remover called highway one...the best i know till now...
...i worked the scratched body of this guitar with the last amount of this material i had and does not exist any more...
...and something about the leather up on the body... i put it there to make the body more comfortable for the hand and keep it dry from sweating...

...after 6 months i changed the keys with kluson closed type, the pickguard and left the pickups naked...
