"!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS GUITAR IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
Amazing, some of the reviews below say that theirs didnt come with a tremelo bar, mine did however and im still experimenting with the bridge. I have plans to put a custom fender neckplate on it to give it that extra touch. Also, the 70's style head is awesome!

Quality:
Im confident that my Fender will never let me down, especially with a strap lock.

Value:
This guitar is worth every penny i paid for it!

Desirability:
Mine is Cocoa Transparent and it definetly has a lot od sex apeal!

Sound:
The combination of a humbucker and two single coils make this a very versitile guitar. It has that classic highway sound, but can also be switched to a high-watt metal monster with the right overdrive.

Ease of Use:
The wide neck and large frets make this the perfect guitar for anyone to play. You can also get virtually and sound out of it.

Support:
My Highway One is still fairly new and i havnt had to contact Fender yet.

Overall:
This is an amazing guitar weather you want looks, sound or both! I cant imagine im going to sell it for a looooong time!

"THE guitar to get"

Feature:
For the price, the materials and parts were more than adequate. The woods used made the guitar sound better.

Quality:
The finish is thin, but it supposedly helps with the tone. The craftmanship is fantastic. Everything fits well and the construction is sturdy. Also, it looks very good. I got mine in Manila,too bad they had only walnut (preferred amber) but I'm quite happy with the looks regardless.

Value:
This a great guitar for the price. It's more expensive where I got it but factoring in shipping, taxes,etc... it would've been the same had I gotten it from the US. The price was worth it.

Desirability:
Plays good and looks good. It should serve me well in years to come.

Sound:
The humbucker and the 2 single coils allow you to try a variety of set-ups. Very versatile. And as the other reviewers had said, it has that classic Strat sound.

Ease of Use:
I'm practically a beginner, trying to learn guitar again after years of not playing. The guitar has been easy to use,the neck makes for fast movement and even unplugged you can practice away.

Support:
Haven't had the need to deal with them (local dealer in Manila).

Overall:
Maybe in time some features will be upgraded (like the pick-ups) as my playing develops. If it gets lost or stolen, I'd get a similar one. I am just glad I got it right the first time. I could've started with a cheaper guitar but I decided to get one that will be friendly to both novice and experienced.

The first thing you'll notice about the Highway 1 Series is its unique finish -- a high resonance, low gloss, acrylic lacquer that lets the tone ring out and sustain for days. You should also know that the US Hwy 1 is an American-made guitar at a low price! This version has an Atomic(TM) humbucker for hot leads and massive rhythm parts, plus 2 alnico, staggered pole piece single coils for a classic Strat sound. Other features include an Alder body, a modern 'C' shape Maple neck, and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo.
