The AmStd may use different tuners, and they do have different pickups. Whether they're "better" or "worse" is a matter of taste. As Cush and Kriss said, the Hwy1's have a matte finish which "relics" (shows wear) more quickly than the thicker, glossy finish on the AmStd. I have a Hwy1 Tele and am very fond of it.
