"This Crimson Red Telecaster Just Stands up and Says "LIsten to Me, Dude!""

Sound: This Tele actually sounds just like a . . .Tele. The factory pickups are not bad at all. I believe they are the standard classic (American) pickups. The Fender site tells for shore. Feature: It has all the best Telecaster features. . . Simplicity! Ease of Use: One of the very best reasons to own a Telecaster. . . not a bunch of knobs an' switches an' parts to fidgit with. Just a clean Tele that sounds cool. Quality: There are things about this guitar that Fender did not mention in its description; like rolled neck edges, and very well executed averall finish. Value: The Highway 1 is worth the bucks. Manufacturer Support: Fender dealers are ready to do what it takes. I have no qualms about that. The Wow Factor: If you like the Telecaster, and I do, then what more can you say? Fender has been making these for decades because people still gotta have 'em. No other guitar is the same, and the HIghway 1 is no exception. This guitar is made just as well as it' more expensive siblings, you just don't pay extra for the glossy finish, the Schaller tuners, the six saddle bridge, the S-1 switching and, of course, the deluxe hard case. This all adds up to about 500 bucks. I like the HIghway 1 just like it is, and I know it's as American as any Fender out there. Overall: Afer playing my new, red, Highway 1 Tele for a few weeks, (though I think it's just right) I decided to install a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups and the four-way switch that I already had for a different guitar, to see how it sounded, and it sounds fantastic. Though the original pickups are good, the Noiseless are a bit better all around. This guitar has very nice neck and fret finish and the factory setup requires almost no adjustment. It looks so good with the matt finish I have decided NOT to give it a glossy clear coat and polish. Who'da thunk? I use this guitar with a new Fender Blues Deluxe amp and I think they are made for each other.

"Best bang for the buck"

Sound: A tele with an attitude. Has a hard sound like a tele should, no harsh high end. Pick-ups are very well balanced and sounds good in all positions. I can go from chicken pickin' to rock and roll to blues, it just sounds good. Feature: It has everything I like, plain and simple guitar which makes it attractive, Ease of Use: Yup, very easy to get a great sound, you don't have to fight with it to get it do do what you want. Plays really nice, I like the big fat frets, it makes bending notes a breeze. If you are a chunker you might have problems but if you play with a gentle touch it is very responsive. Quality: This should last a lifetime. The finish will age gracefully being a nitro finished guitar it will age like any other classic. Value: Worth every penny and a lot more. The Wow Factor: This instrument reflects the original idea of Leo Fender: simple design, sturdy, made to be played. I have the sunburst with maple neck which is quite stunning to look at besides having the feel of a vintage instrument. Overall: I have 25 or so guitars. This one will be a keeper and may become my "number one"

Style of Music: Rock, Country, Blues
