SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Beautiful and sweet sound. Simply strat. I played 'Machine Gun' on it and it performed perfectly ... and for the record ... I DON'T WORK FOR FENDER ... this guitar was a surprise ... it's so simple but once it starts cookin' ... look out. Feature: Compact ... like a small blonde woman.. has everything and very comfortable. You can dance with this axe. It dances back too. Quality: Well made and resonant. Pickups don't miss a whisper. Five position switch takes you from Texas to New York to LA to London. Value: Good value. I got the axe at a sale. What a miracle too. Praise God. Manufacturer Support: Fender is tops. Can you imagine the music scene without them? Look how the Beatles even changed over to Fenders and Gibsons eventually. Fender is a - Great company as long as they don't spread themselves too thin. Verstile instruments and talented luthiers working with them. The Wow Factor: Very sexy instrument in blonde with the maple neck. Lust is actually a good description... but of course one should not lust, so a better word is 'desire'. Guitar seems to beckon you to play it. As long as I know it isn't a demon .... I'm ready to play. Overall: Won't need another product yet. Reliable axe. I would give this Highway One a shot ... you won't be disappointed when you plug in.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Classic Strat Sound. A bit twangy for certain things. Feature: For an American-made strat, the price seems a bit low-end, but if you play with it, you'll understand it's not low-end at all. Also, the paint looks cool, but chips off easily. You can see this as good b/c it'll look vintage in a few years, but also bad.. well.. cuz it chips easily Quality: Finish is excellent, you can see the pattern of the wood through the piant. As i've said, the cool paint chips off easily Value: For an American made, damn. this is definitely worth the value Manufacturer Support: Havne't had to deal with them yet The Wow Factor: Def. worth it

Sound: Great tones, clean as can be. There is almost no noise at all. I can get tons of sounds from this guitar just with the flip of the pickup selector. It's tone is the envy of all the others I play with. Quality: The maple neck on mine has the nicest grain I have ever seen. I was told that the hardware on this guitar is sub-par to the other strats, but I actually really like the hardware that is on the guitar. It is vintage stuff. Value: I paid $400 for mine because of some blems and dings. I would have paid twice that for this guitar now that I own it. None of my other guitars come out of thier cases. I play 5 times a week.

Sound: Sound without effect modules is good, you can hear it's good without amp. Polytone100 does a good job with it in greater halls, Fender Frontman25 does it even better, though in smaller halls. I like to play it with Korg1500, adjusted blues selection and some distortion on the Frontman25. Feature: Materials are ok, but I had to replace some small parts because it was using too many G-strings. It's better now. I wish it came with a hard case instead of the gig bag, but it's all about the price. I read some complains about the finish. Yes, it is damaged rather quickly; but it gives -as I see it- a warmer sound and a great 'worn-out' look... Quality: It's ok. Only the g-string connection needed to be replaced. I think now it will go on for ages. Value: I think it's good value for money. And I think I go and try his big brother, the original USA strat, to see if I can hear the difference. Manufacturer Support: No need to phone them, my dealer is ok. The Wow Factor: I think it's great! It was my first Fender. After buying it I layed it down on the carpet at home and was just looking at it for some time. Waaw, can you imagine, this is me, and this coconut baby is mine! Overall: I think I'm gonna play this for a long time; and I see if I can get a Gibson-type beside it, to be more flexible in the music I wanna play: old swampy John Mayall blues and stuff like that.

Sound: Sounds just like a good Strat should. Feature: Gig bag is nice. Quality: The neck didn't fit right, if the strings aren't set very high it will "fret out" at fret 13 and above, a real disapointment. Value: Yes, however I had to spend more to get it to play correctly. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: I own the cocoe, I like the look. Overall: I own other stratocasters also, I will keep and play this one for a long time. I looks nice, sounds great and after some work it plays very well. I would replace this guitar with one similar to it if need be.
