"the ultimate strat."

Feature:
It's got that jimi hendrix vibe.What more can I say.

Quality:
I love the finish.It looks better in person.

Value:
With some tweeking,it rates up there with any guitar.

Desirability:
I love the big head stock.killer! dont care much for the soft case'but Ihave enough hard cases.

Sound:
After some ajustments toget rid of string rattle, and raising the single coil pick-up height,I was excited about the sound.It has a warm acoustic sound that really carries.I love the pick-ups.the bridge humbucker is amazing.when I strapped it on in rehersal,my bandmates were impressed with the looks and sound.I own a texas special stat,texas special fat strat,les paul standard mahogany,and a wayne's world squire strat with little 59"s at the neck and bridge,and hot rails in the center.It rocks right up there with all of them,and I paid a lot less money.I coundn't be happier with it.

Support:
all my fenders are rock solid.

Overall:
fender out did themselves.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!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 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.
