"Highway One Blondie with the Maple neck is just what the doctor ordered. Finish is very nice and creamy ... with the wood grain"
Feature:
Compact ... like a small blonde woman.. has everything and very comfortable. You can dance with this axe. It dances back too.

Quality:
Well made and resonant. Pickups don't miss a whisper. Five position switch takes you from Texas to New York to LA to London.

Value:
Good value. I got the axe at a sale. What a miracle too. Praise God.

Desirability:
Very sexy instrument in blonde with the maple neck. Lust is actually a good description... but of course one should not lust, so a better word is 'desire'. Guitar seems to beckon you to play it. As long as I know it isn't a demon .... I'm ready to play.

Sound:
Beautiful and sweet sound. Simply strat. I played 'Machine Gun' on it and it performed perfectly ... and for the record ... I DON'T WORK FOR FENDER ... this guitar was a surprise ... it's so simple but once it starts cookin' ... look out.

Support:
Fender is tops. Can you imagine the music scene without them? Look how the Beatles even changed over to Fenders and Gibsons eventually. Fender is a - Great company as long as they don't spread themselves too thin. Verstile instruments and talented luthiers working with them.

Overall:
Won't need another product yet. Reliable axe. I would give this Highway One a shot ... you won't be disappointed when you plug in.

"Get this"
Feature:
For an American-made strat, the price seems a bit low-end, but if you play with it, you'll understand it's not low-end at all. Also, the paint looks cool, but chips off easily. You can see this as good b/c it'll look vintage in a few years, but also bad.. well.. cuz it chips easily

Quality:
Finish is excellent, you can see the pattern of the wood through the piant. As i've said, the cool paint chips off easily

Value:
For an American made, damn. this is definitely worth the value

Desirability:
Def. worth it

Sound:
Classic Strat Sound. A bit twangy for certain things.

Support:
Havne't had to deal with them yet
