The new pickups on the Highway One Stratocaster guitar produce a more round tone that can sound glassy and great with high gain. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body wood's natural tone shine through, making for one of the most exciting new instruments in the Fender family! Learn More...

"replace the pickups & its good"
Feature:
nothing new to report, pretty regular strat features.

Quality:
if the electronics are substandard, the guitar is substandard. gets a five for bad pickups, pretty much a typical mim strat tone.

Value:
no, it isn't a bargain. i would compare it to squier, although squier has better pickups.

Sound:
i would replace the pickups on this guitar. japanese guitars have very nice finishes and necks, but the electronics are no better than a made in mexico strat.

Ease of Use:
a fender strat is pretty easy to operate.

Overall:
i bought this guitar 2 months ago and i have too many fenders, as it is. i have too many guitars (along with being out of town for 5 weeks)and i didn't play it seriously until two weeks ago. i will probably trade this guitar for something else, but lefty guitars aren't always a good barter item. so, i am going to take my time.
