Ooh. Not sure. I wanted a HW1 when they first came out in 2002 but the first shipment was late so I got bored of waiting and bought a 2nd hand USA Tele instead.
My experience of MIMs has been minimal in recent years but I hear they are better than the early 90s ones. All the "vintage" RI stuff is MIM these days isn't it? And the player series.
I still hanker after a HW1. Have been trying to find a body to use as the basis for a partscaster but they just don't come up.

Yeah that's generally what I've heard. Obviously I'd try both before potentially buying, but it's a tough decision between a sub-£300 HW1 or a similar priced year-old Mexican......
Let me know if interested in it?

I'm on the hunt for a Tele, either Mexican or US. There's currently a MIM (2018) and Highway One (mid-2000's) both for sale near me at similar price. Are the pickups/electrics in the mim going to be much better than the ~15yo highway one?
Were hwy1 models just assembled in Mexico and finished in US?
