Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster Electric Guitar (Maple, With Gig Bag) Reviews
10 out of 10
"American strat at Mexican prices"
Feature:
I got two whammy bars with the guitar. It came with a gig bag, but I upgraded to a hard case. The hard case is WELL WORTH IT. Upgrading to lacking strap is another must.
Quality:
The product is really well made. I've never had a problem with any of it. The only problem is that the satin finish scratches easy. But this quality is worth the tone it creates.
Value:
This an amazing value. The tone surpassed any higher-priced fender I've ever played
Desirability:
Everything important about this guitar is unsurpassable. The tone is amazing; the comfort and ease of playing is amazing; the strat body design and headstock looks cooler than the tele, the sg, the les paul, or the flying v. The transparent finish shows off the wood's grain.
Sound:
The sound is amazing, rock, classic rock, punk, and blues all sound great. I've even played it with a folk group and the clean tone kept up with the acoustics. However, the pickups are not quite powerful enough for zeppelin, metallica, that type of stuff. I tried a higher level american stratbefore buying this one, but the highway 1 was far better.
Ease of Use:
The guitar has great string action. The maple neck improves the string action a lot, but sacrifices a little sustain. The knobs and pick-up selector caneasily be manipulated by the pinky, very useful when performing, specially when playing lead. The tuners are sensitive, but they don't drift much and don't buzz at all.
Support:
I've never had any trouble, so I can't really say anything about support
Overall:
I do not plan on replacing this product ever. It was built to last a lifetime and that's just how long I'm going to use it. The only other guitars that I would like to buy in the future are an acoustic, as no electric can imitate it, and a guitar with double humbucking pick-ups, but it will definitely be another strat.

"Exeptional guitar"
Feature:
First im gonna start wit the finish. This finish is so awesome in sunburst. It really looks like a 54 strat. I love the satin finish. the only downside to this is that is so friggin thin. Other than that, its awesome. The tuning stability is amazing. I sat down for literally 10 min. and tried to make this go out of tune with my whammy bar, but it didnt. It hasnt gone outta tune once!
Quality:
You can feel the quality in this one. Just how the neck plays, whew, its aming. Excellent quality here.
Value:
this is an excellent value for an american strat, i think that fender is losing so much money out these guitars. They are so cheap. I reccomend this to any one, regarless of age or skill.
Desirability:
If i lost this or if it would be stolen, i would sob like a baby. I love it.
Sound:
the pick ups inn this guitar are awesome
Support:
never had to deal wit em, ive only had this baby for 4 days
Overall:
This guitar is amazing, from finsih to the original contour body, its all Very very good
