Good Points: Very tone versatile. Sustain is fantastic. Feel/playability awesome! Much better than the new american standard.
General comments: The 2007 Highway Ones are in my opinion are the best strats out there today. I have compared the Highway One with the new American Standards and the Highway One walks all over the new American Standards in tone versatility/feel/sustain. The 2007 Highway Ones are simply a better strat.

The Fender Highway One Stratocaster has a lovely sound but I'm not a fan of the finish they've used. Overall, a very good guitar at a nice price.

Compared the Highway One Strat to 4 different American Standards including the new 2008 American Standard and the Highway One simply is a better all around Strat than the American Standard. More versatile in tone better feel and playability the Highway One is simply awesome!

After painful, droned hours of a guitar search the feel of this guitar's neck just stood out so much even though it was the first one I tried! The variation of tones is remarkable from the vintage 70's sound to the Gretsch jazz (but obviously not the real thing!). Definitely value for money considering for £500 you could only get a Gibson standard SG, the usual Jag's being around £600 and American series teles at around £600.

I tried several Strats in the shop including some much more expensive models and this one stood out for me. Lovely set-up and action, beautiful tone, very playable. Love the 70s headstock and jumbo frets. None really. I can't understand why some people have a downer on this model. Maybe it's not quite the classic Strat tone but it has a awesome tone of it's own. This one's a keeper!

Made from quality components, better than earlier fender models, plays great, sounds even better. These guitars are well made as good as any USA strat, buy one you can't go wrong !!!!!!!!! No bad points.

The Fender Highway One looks fantastic, sounds just awesome. The bridge humbucker sounds particularly good. This guitar is more versatile, to my mind, than a standard strat, as I seem to be able to get a far greater variations in tone etc, as you can get the real solid humbucker sounds, but also the classic strat neck sounds, so anything from hard rock and metal, through classic rock and to blues sounds great. This guitar has massive frets, and as soon as I picked it up it felt so comfortable it ...

Great tone, very playable (unlike many strats), and your style shines through with the finish. It is very thin and has a matte finish when new-but your wear points will become glossy and then will eventually wear through giving the guitar a vintage feel that no-one else in the world could create.

My Fender Highway One Stratocaster Electric Guitar has a beautiful finish, and it is easy to play. Great value for the money. I only wish that I could play it well enough to do it justice!

The Fender Highway One Stratocaster is a good guitar, but I have the USA Strat, which in my opinion is much better, but the Highway is still a good guitar, and the price isn't too bad.

I dont own a Fender Highway One Stratocaster. But I have spent 3 hours in the music shop playing it. I think that's enough. What a guitar though. It's great for rhythm and lead. I, myslef, am a rhythm player but it is very versatile. My parents are reluctant to buy me such a pricey guitar ( as I already have 3). But I wouldn't say that this guitr is suitable for beginners. Overall a very nice guitar. I don't feel much difference between the Highway series and the more expensive models.

I just played my Uncle's '67 Fender Highway One Stratocaster "classic" strat, and I have to say that for overall tone and playabillity, I prefer my Highway One. It is a great way to get your hands on an American made instrument at a price that won't break you. The only criticism I have is a small one. I have a teal guitar and it shows the grain beautifully, but the finish is not as durable as I would like. It's still pretty though.

Fender Highway One Stratocaster - Awesome guitar modeled after a pre-cbs Fender. They did a hell of a good job.
