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. 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. Manufacturer Support: all my fenders are rock solid. The Wow Factor: I love the big head stock.killer! dont care much for the soft case'but Ihave enough hard cases. Overall: fender out did themselves.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: The combination of a humbucker and two single coils make this a very versitile guitar. It has that classic highway sound, but can also be switched to a high-watt metal monster with the right overdrive. Feature: Amazing, some of the reviews below say that theirs didnt come with a tremelo bar, mine did however and im still experimenting with the bridge. I have plans to put a custom fender neckplate on it to give it that extra touch. Also, the 70's style head is awesome! Ease of Use: The wide neck and large frets make this the perfect guitar for anyone to play. You can also get virtually and sound out of it. Quality: Im confident that my Fender will never let me down, especially with a strap lock. Value: This guitar is worth every penny i paid for it! Manufacturer Support: My Highway One is still fairly new and i havnt had to contact Fender yet. The Wow Factor: Mine is Cocoa Transparent and it definetly has a lot od sex apeal! Overall: This is an amazing guitar weather you want looks, sound or both! I cant imagine im going to sell it for a looooong time!

Sound: This guitar with it's pick up set-up will give you a great variety of sound. The humbucker sounds especially nice. Feature: The guitar is beautiful - the gig bag that came with it is superb! Quality: excellent Value: Best deal on an American made fender. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

Back to Product Information
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. Feature: For the price, the materials and parts were more than adequate. The woods used made the guitar sound better. 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. 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. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had the need to deal with them (local dealer in Manila). The Wow Factor: Plays good and looks good. It should serve me well in years to come. 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.

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). 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 Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: A stunning looking guitar and it sounds and plays like a dream. 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)

Sound: Sounds like a Strat with a high gain humbucker.. exactly what I wanted. 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. Manufacturer Support: N/A

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. 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. Manufacturer Support: I dont know how to rate this, never had contact with Fender, YET.... The Wow Factor: I got two, enough said.... 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....
