Get the Highway 1 !!! The quality between the mexican and highway1 is like day and night! I was lucky, I got a real freaking sweet highway 1! It's feels just like if not better than the american standard! And sounds sweet too.
The wood quality of the highway one is the same as american standards, the difference between highway 1's and american standards are somewhat different necks (barely any difference), finish (highway has a lighter finish), different colors, and hardware. get the highway 1!
