Feature:
It's got that jimi hendrix vibe.What more can I say.

Quality:
I love the finish.It looks better in person.

Value:
With some tweeking,it rates up there with any guitar.

Desirability:
I love the big head stock.killer! dont care much for the soft case'but Ihave enough hard cases.

Sound:
After some ajustments toget rid of string rattle, and raising the single coil pick-up height,I was excited about the sound.It has a warm acoustic sound that really carries.I love the pick-ups.the bridge humbucker is amazing.when I strapped it on in rehersal,my bandmates were impressed with the looks and sound.I own a texas special stat,texas special fat strat,les paul standard mahogany,and a wayne's world squire strat with little 59"s at the neck and bridge,and hot rails in the center.It rocks right up there with all of them,and I paid a lot less money.I coundn't be happier with it.

Support:
all my fenders are rock solid.

Overall:
fender out did themselves.

Feature:
The guitar is beautiful - the gig bag that came with it is superb!

Quality:
excellent

Value:
Best deal on an American made fender.

Desirability:
The Amber finish shows off the natural wood grain yet is rich. (Fender should feature more guitars in this finish). Sustain is great and it's whole setup makes it comfortable to play.

Sound:
This guitar with it's pick up set-up will give you a great variety of sound. The humbucker sounds especially nice.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I love this guitar. It plays well and is pretty to boot. I saw it advertised on the internet and knew that it was one of the ones that I would consider getting. As it happened, I walked into a store and saw it hanging there on sale. It took about two seconds to decide to get it.

Feature:
For the price, the materials and parts were more than adequate. The woods used made the guitar sound better.

Quality:
The finish is thin, but it supposedly helps with the tone. The craftmanship is fantastic. Everything fits well and the construction is sturdy. Also, it looks very good. I got mine in Manila,too bad they had only walnut (preferred amber) but I'm quite happy with the looks regardless.

Value:
This a great guitar for the price. It's more expensive where I got it but factoring in shipping, taxes,etc... it would've been the same had I gotten it from the US. The price was worth it.

Desirability:
Plays good and looks good. It should serve me well in years to come.

Sound:
The humbucker and the 2 single coils allow you to try a variety of set-ups. Very versatile. And as the other reviewers had said, it has that classic Strat sound.

Ease of Use:
I'm practically a beginner, trying to learn guitar again after years of not playing. The guitar has been easy to use,the neck makes for fast movement and even unplugged you can practice away.

Support:
Haven't had the need to deal with them (local dealer in Manila).

Overall:
Maybe in time some features will be upgraded (like the pick-ups) as my playing develops. If it gets lost or stolen, I'd get a similar one. I am just glad I got it right the first time. I could've started with a cheaper guitar but I decided to get one that will be friendly to both novice and experienced.

Feature:
Its got high frett access and you can sit and play it unlike guitars like the "flying-v". and its got a divit on the inside that fits right on your side. feels great.

Quality:
ive had mine for about a year and there isnt one thing wrong with it.its easy to keep in shape.

Desirability:
its the perfect guitar to have. its so fun to play and its just great.

Sound:
this guitar sounds great. you can use it for any type of music so its really handy. sounds like a million bucks. just make sure you get new strings after you order it because the strings that come on it suck.

Overall:
i expect to be satisfied with this guitar for a long time. it hasnt shown any wear or terr besides a few niks. but other than that its great.

Feature:
Not may features, just a strat, but the humbucker makes the difference in the sound and vibe. I love the late 60's-70's headstock, very funky.

Quality:
It has a very thin finish, but this just lets the sound come thru that much more. Very punchy! Built like a tank. Hey, its a Fender strat, a workhorse guitar, and thats what I use my two for.

Value:
THis is the best value in an American made Fender today. Best value, best features, and best playability, best vibe. I could go on and on. You owe it to yourself to check one out.

Desirability:
I got two, enough said....

Sound:
Let me tell you this guitar kills! I bought two. One amber, the other Cocoa. The humbucker in the bridge has great attack, and the single coils are a little noisy, but what do you expect from them. The neck feels great, and I am a very anal when it comes to a necks feel to my hand. I use an Aiken Invader head thru a Marshall 1960 AX cab, with a few effect pedals on my board. I can get pretty close to the old VH brown sound.

Support:
I dont know how to rate this, never had contact with Fender, YET....

Overall:
I have bought, traded, sold many strats over my 25 years of playing, and I can honestly say, the HWY 1 HSS strat is the best of them. I will be keeping my two....

Feature:
Loved the low gloss finish and colour (amber). Construction was excellent.

Quality:
Construction was first class. The finish may not survive the road but all the greats had/have well loved axes (Gallagher, Clapton, Buchanon et al). Great value for the price and quality.

Value:
Superb value

Desirability:
A stunning looking guitar and it sounds and plays like a dream.

Sound:
A great low cost compromise with traditional strat twang plus a more beefy humbucker whack. Great for lead and slide. It ain't exactly noiseless but neither is a 60 or 70's vintage original Strat. Sounds great with a tube amp (Fender Blues Junior).

Support:
NA

Overall:
A guitar for life. I might pick up a standard or highway 1 telecaster for slide (although in this regard this guitar is versatile for the classic Fender slide tone or a hybrid Gibson growl)

Feature:
Not alot of features. It comes in a gig bag instead of a hardshell case, the gig bag is nice though. The tremolo bar screw has a piece of silver tape over it and the bar itself wasn'r even included.

Quality:
The finish is great.

Value:
Great guitar for the money.

Sound:
Sounds like a Strat with a high gain humbucker.. exactly what I wanted.

Support:
N/A

Feature:
The deluxe gigbag is included.

Quality:
PLEASE, for this price!!!!!!!!

Value:
For the price It
