The Highway One series is upgraded for '06! Super-size frets, '70s styling, new alnico pickups and new colors take this amazing guitar to the next level. The new pickups on the Highway One Telecaster guitar produce a more round sound with that great Fender sparkle; it also has great high-gain sounds. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body wood's natural tone shine through, making for one of the most exciting new instruments in the Fender family! Learn More...

"Kick ass gitar on a budget"

Quality:
I like the looks of the satin finish. However it does mark easily. Just the slightest bump and you have a mark on it

Value:
Here is where this guitar really shines. A real FENDER made in the good old USA for this price. How can you beat it?

Desirability:
I knew from the minute I put my hands on the neck that this was going to be a great guitar for me. I love the neck. I played it for 7 hrs the first night I had it. I felt like part of me and I never got tired.

Sound:
neck is very warm but needs a little more volume seem a little weak to me

Overall:
This guitar will be with me a long time. I may start looking for a Nashville Tele just for the additional sound of the middle pickup. But this one is going nowhere.
