This guitar has great vintage tone with good output. It has two single-coil hot alnico pickups with raised poles at the neck and middle with an Atomic 1 humbucker at the bridge. It has Greasebucket tone circuit which rolls off highs without adding bass. All three pickups have great tone. These pickups are high-output and frequency tuned for maximum tonal response. The five position switch works perfectly - 1 bridge, 2 bridge and middle, 3 middle, 4 middle and neck, and 5 neck. There are no scratchy pots or switch.The pickguard is in excellent condition. The frets have 90% to 95% left on them…lots and lots of life left in them. The Fender ping standard cast tuning machines hold string tuning well, even with heavy bending of notes. The vintage syncro tremolo bridge has been cleaned and lubricated and all of the saddles work and adjust. The vintage style tremolo works well, however, the guitar currently has a trem block making the bridge a hard tail - the trem block can be easily removed if you want tremolo. The trem bar hole on the bridge is covered by metallic tape which came that way from the factory, it is easily removable. A Fender tremolo bar is included with the guitar.The neck has a satin polyurethane finish with a natural rosewood fretboard. It a 9.5" radius and has a modern "C" shape with 22 frets. The frets are medium jumbo. The truss rod does work. The frets have been polished, the neck is straight and has a slight amount of relief adjusted into it for set-up. The nut is 1.6875." The headstock is the large 70's style headstock with a large 70's style decal.  There is a metallic Fender "60th Anniversary" button on the backside of the headstock.The body also has a thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the natural wood tone shine through. The natural amber color on the body is very nice.Strings are new and are EB .46 - .10's.The price for this guitar is worth every penny, these US made Fender Highway 1 guitars are a super bargain in terms of quality and value for the money. It will only appreciate in value with time.The guitar weighs 7 lbs 10 oz and is well balanced.This guitar does not come with a case or gig bag.I will ship this guitar as I would expect to receive a guitar: well protected and well packaged.
