Feature:
this is what a real strat is all about.
no extra bell's and whistles that most strats
have today.it's the real deal.
Quality:
the quality and craftmanship is A+
just as good as most customshop strats
the cosmetics are flawless i dont worry about
anything going wrong with this strat. this strat
is more than just worthy for the road its built
for the road and no back ups are needed with this baby.
and its one of the most tone versatile guitars period!
Value:
i paid $930 for mine and its the best investment
i have made in any of my guitars. as far as tone versatility
and sustain the american standards cant touch this.
and its one of the most solid built guitars i'v seen.
the neck is smooth and no ruff edges on the jumbo fretts.
also love the thin nitro finish. it looks/feels and sounds
customshop built. thankyou fender its Brilliant!
Desirability:
i have it and i'm getting more.
Sound:
this strat is one of the most versatile tone strat's
that i have come across in a long time.
live or recording this strat does it all when it comes
to tone it's a tone monster.
Ease of Use:
very easy to use and very versatile the Alnico III SSS
pick ups are simply fantastic. much better than the
new american standards.
Overall:
over this is one of the best strats fender
has put out in a long while. this strat does it
all and more. hard rock/classic rock/blues it
does it all. i have compared the highway one sss with
three differnt 2008 american standards and the highway one
simply blew the american standards right off the stage.
if jimi hendrix was alive he would have a few of these for shure.

Feature:
Not many whistles and bells just a straight up Strat. My fellow band mate has a Fender Standard SRV edition which is more expensive but i actually like the tones outta this guitar better.
Quality:
Built very well. the only problem i have had is the pickup selector switch which i have to spray contact cleaner in about once every few months due to crackles and not switching properly (keep in mind i have a case for it too) so theres not much dust getting into it. but i imagine if it were replaced it would take care of the problem.
Value:
YES! very worth the price!!
Desirability:
i do like the nitro-celluloid laquer which is thinner than other guitars paint. I have had many compliments on this guitar...like i said i have the honey blonde option which i think is one of the nicest colors fender has put out...
Sound:
Sounds great! I have had mine for a few a few years now as it is a 2004 model. it is the honey blonde color. The sound is amazing through a tube amp (early 70s Fender Princeton) but i also have a solid state marshall that it sounds good through also. very compatible with rock, raggae, metal, funk, anything you wanna play. switch it to the "bridge-middle" pickup setting and you can get some very nice george harrison-like tones.
Ease of Use:
Well I run it through a Vox Tonelab SE which sounds great, but I have played it without and sounds good. Run it through a tube amp and you're gonna be blown away, i was...
Overall:
i never get rid of guitars so i know i will be keeping this one for a long time. If i do wear it out i will definately have it re-fretted. i would definately replace it with the same model if stolen.
