Sound: This Tele actually sounds just like a . . .Tele. The factory pickups are not bad at all. I believe they are the standard classic (American) pickups. The Fender site tells for shore. Feature: It has all the best Telecaster features. . . Simplicity! Ease of Use: One of the very best reasons to own a Telecaster. . . not a bunch of knobs an' switches an' parts to fidgit with. Just a clean Tele that sounds cool. Quality: There are things about this guitar that Fender did not mention in its description; like rolled neck edges, and very well executed averall finish. Value: The Highway 1 is worth the bucks. Manufacturer Support: Fender dealers are ready to do what it takes. I have no qualms about that. The Wow Factor: If you like the Telecaster, and I do, then what more can you say? Fender has been making these for decades because people still gotta have 'em. No other guitar is the same, and the HIghway 1 is no exception. This guitar is made just as well as it' more expensive siblings, you just don't pay extra for the glossy finish, the Schaller tuners, the six saddle bridge, the S-1 switching and, of course, the deluxe hard case. This all adds up to about 500 bucks. I like the HIghway 1 just like it is, and I know it's as American as any Fender out there. Overall: Afer playing my new, red, Highway 1 Tele for a few weeks, (though I think it's just right) I decided to install a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups and the four-way switch that I already had for a different guitar, to see how it sounded, and it sounds fantastic. Though the original pickups are good, the Noiseless are a bit better all around. This guitar has very nice neck and fret finish and the factory setup requires almost no adjustment. It looks so good with the matt finish I have decided NOT to give it a glossy clear coat and polish. Who'da thunk? I use this guitar with a new Fender Blues Deluxe amp and I think they are made for each other.

Sound: A tele with an attitude. Has a hard sound like a tele should, no harsh high end. Pick-ups are very well balanced and sounds good in all positions. I can go from chicken pickin' to rock and roll to blues, it just sounds good. Feature: It has everything I like, plain and simple guitar which makes it attractive, Ease of Use: Yup, very easy to get a great sound, you don't have to fight with it to get it do do what you want. Plays really nice, I like the big fat frets, it makes bending notes a breeze. If you are a chunker you might have problems but if you play with a gentle touch it is very responsive. Quality: This should last a lifetime. The finish will age gracefully being a nitro finished guitar it will age like any other classic. Value: Worth every penny and a lot more. The Wow Factor: This instrument reflects the original idea of Leo Fender: simple design, sturdy, made to be played. I have the sunburst with maple neck which is quite stunning to look at besides having the feel of a vintage instrument. Overall: I have 25 or so guitars. This one will be a keeper and may become my "number one"

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: very bright to very mellow tones can be produced. even respose between strings. brige pick up is a bit louder/fuller after i raised it about 1mm. not a metal guitar. perfect for country, classic rock, oldies, jazz, swing. tone control really does control tone. some typical single coil noise. lots of single coil sizzle and clarity. totally acceptable trade-off. can't do it all, but way versatile. Feature: you buy a tele for twang...not features. Quality: set screws are too high with the action set the way i like it....uncomfortable on the heel of my picking hand at times. otherwise...absolutely love the finish...honey color a matte lustre instead of a high gloss. you don't buy a tele for it's looks, but this looks pretty good. neck and fretwork are flawless. very playable. Value: excellent value. bottom line..sound and playability are well worth the price. best legit tele type deal around. got a bj to go with it, guitar and amp are sonically compatible. Manufacturer Support: factory...no problems so no clue. store...up-graded the case and had it set up right when i collected it. The Wow Factor: wanted a tele since '65. kicking my ass for waiting so long. this model/price combo was just right...had to have it. Overall: wanted it for a long time...probably keep it for a long time. got it 3 years ago, still inspires me to pick it up over my others. makes me a better player because i have to work at playing clean with definition and articulation...it's rather unforgiving in that respect...when i'm playing sloppy, my penance is to reach for something with hb's and hit the boost.
