Unknown brand · electric guitar
The Fender Highway One Telecaster was the US-built entry point in the 2000s, distinguished by a thin nitrocellulose finish left satin rather than buffed, so it wears through quickly in use. Later runs added the Greasebucket tone circuit, which rolls off treble without the bass increase a conventional tone control introduces.
