    The Fender Highway One Stratocaster is a beautiful instrument, it is a working piece of art. The alnico pickups sound vintage and sweet and the humbucker has good thick distortion. I bought the Satin finish and it just looks solid, tough, and vintage. Only bad point is the bridge, these old bridges are obviously not going to be as good as the new Floyd Rose style, however, it does stay in tune pretty well.

    these are awesome guitars well worth the money. mine has been played side by side with an American custom shop model,(friends in a band) Even he said it was hard to tell the difference beetween the tones on both guitars and how well the highway played. How awesome is that!

    Great looks, good typical strat sound but the thin E string has no punch. It's a good guitar and cheap, recommended.

    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.
