Fat Rich Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Highway One series are nitro, the bodies are a matte finish which some people don't like. However after playing a HW1 Strat for a few months it's started to shine up in places, you could probably polish them too but I haven't tried. It's a pretty thin finish apparently so you'd have to be careful not to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBass Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My highway 1 jazz has polished up nicely in a couple of places, and looks good in the wine finish. The nitro isn't to everyone's liking, but works for me. That sunburst is rather nice though Cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanew Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello, As said Luke FRC, the American Vintage basses (57 Precision, 62 Jazz bass) have a nitro finish. Of course, all the Custom Shop Time machine instruments. Why are you interested in knowing that ? For the sound, the look ? Good groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
