About the Fender Highway 1 U.S. Special Fat Strat Electric Guitar (Rosewood, with Gig Bag)
The first thing you’ll notice about the Highway 1 Series is its unique finish -- a high resonance, low gloss, acrylic lacquer that lets the tone ring out and sustain for days. You should also know that the US Hwy 1 is an American-made guitar at a low price! This version has an Atomic(TM) humbucker for hot leads and massive rhythm parts, plus 2 alnico, staggered pole piece single coils for a classic Strat sound. Other features include an Alder body, a modern “C” shape Maple neck, and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo.
Fender Highway 1 U.S. Special Fat Strat Electric Guitar (Rosewood, with Gig Bag) Reviews
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....
