Like the Gibson Studio LP, the Highway Tele gives you an American Guitar at a Great Value. I received mine a couple of weeks ago. The finish is great (honey blonde with Maple fingerboard) Fat frets and C shaped neck give a unique feel. I like the pickups, but the great thing about these guitars is if you want to modify pickups hardware etc., you have a great platform to build from. I would highly recommend this guitar. There are few guitars this good for this price.

AN AUTHENTIC AMERICAN TELE

This is my first American electric guitar and I couldnīt be happier. Love the fact that Fender thinks about starting musicians who are looking for a pro sound for just a few bucks. This is a beautiful instrument and Fenderīs signature sound is just there, no doubt about it.

Best thing Fender makes

The Highway One series has a great, classic tone. I own several of this series, both Strat and Tele. The most important consideration is the following -

Fender has poor quality control. I have not owned a fender guitar or bass that didn't need fret work straight out of the box since 1991. The problem with the Standard Series (both U.S. and Mex) is that with medium jumbo fret wire a fret dress renders them unplayable due to too little fret wire remaining after they're level. The Highway One series uses super jumbo fret wire so once you've had the frets properly dressed you still have enough fret height to have killer action.

The Alnico 3 pickups sound fantastic. Hot signal and solid, twangy tone. No need for Duncans or Texas Specials though they're really good too.

To sum up: Buy a Highway One, have the frets dressed by a reputable luthier and you'll have the best thing Fender makes.

I'm not a fan of Fender, never have been. But I've always had a thing for the Tele. I finaly got around to picking one out this was at the top of my list. American made but not to much on the wallet. I have to say I got my moneys worth. Wonderful guitar, great sound and look. Plays looks just as good as the American standard for almost half the price.

Highway Tele

Great guitar for the money, not as over priced as the rest of the USA models. Not a flaw, changed strings to 10's and set up to my own taste. I have had several Highway Strats and Teles and havent had a problem with a single one. I have had American standards USA reissues that I cant say the same about. I recommend the Highway series to anyone wanting a great guitar without spending hundreds more just for a gloss finish
