Ok so someone tell me in simple terms what is the difference between a MIM, MIA and Highway One Tele? Which is the best and why?
MIM is made and assembled in Mexico, with mexican hardware.
HWY1 has the body and neck made in Mexico, but the hardware is American and its assembled in America. They also have satin finishes.
The MIA is made and assembled in America.
I don't think theres a whole lot of difference in quality between the HWY1 and the American, but the electronics and hardware on the MIM stuff is definitely lower quality.
I got my HWY 1 for $500. Its great.
