"Highway One Blondie with the Maple neck is just what the doctor ordered. Finish is very nice and creamy ... with the wood grain"

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.
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.
Features
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.
