Anyone know what this means?This is what all passive guitar tone controls do. They've got a capacitor that short-circuits high frequencies to ground while letting lower frequencies pass, and a potentiomenter that adjusts how much high frequency signal is bled off through the capacitor. It's impossible for any passive tone circuit to boost any frequency range; they can only do so relatively by taking away in another range.

The "Grease Bucket Circuit" thing sounds like marketing gobbledygook, and not very tasty at that.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-136171 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-136123 Tue, 01 Nov 2005 23:31:55 +0000

I've never regretted my purchase. YMMV.(Your Mileage May Vary)

I also own a Schecter Omen 6 and it's a good guitar for the price. Love it too, but it's a totally different sound and feel than my Single coil, maple fretboard, Highway 1. Then there's that "Strat" sound.

My only regret is the satin finish. Although it looks great, it dings, and chips, easy. Don't bother me too much as any dings on mine are "love" marks anyway. But, if you're one of those people that like things to stay in near as new condition, don't get a strat with a satin finish if you plan on playing it.

Really comes down to what you want, what you can afford, and personal preference.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-135411 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-135385 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 01:13:25 +0000
The Highway is made in the usa, the standard isn't. The Highway has a different finish (not as glossy). Some of the options available are different (electronics, colors, etc.).

Imo, at those price points, neither are worth the money when compared to a Schecter or a Godin. (Note: I'm a newb, but even I could tell the higher quality of the Schecters and Godins.)]]> Guitar Players Discussion sarton https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-135385 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-12747 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 01:00:13 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion michhill8 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-standard-strat-and-us-highway/#post-12747
