No longer available at zZounds
1 humbucker. 2 single-coil pickups. 5-way switching.
Overview
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.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS GUITAR IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
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
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.
Features
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!
