At the intersection of traditional acoustic guitar craftsmanship and relentless innovation, the Highway Series™ instruments transport players into a new era of performance in a way that only Fender® can. Combining a slim, ergonomic body shape and a revolutionary Fishman® Fluence® Acoustic Pickup system, designed around a groundbreaking bracing structure, the Highway series guitars present the tactile charm and unconnected resonance of acoustics twice as large, adding unparalleled comfort in the lap for a truly unique acoustic experience.
Made either with a solid Sitka spruce top or authentic mahogany top set in a fully chambered mahogany body, the Highway series guitars are designed with a patented internal architecture, which includes a floating conical X-bracing pattern and an inventive slim design, producing remarkable resonance and a dynamic, organic tone. With fidelity and performance at its core, the Fishman Fluence Acoustic Pickup system incorporates a sleekly curved Fluence® Core™ magnetic pickup with fully analog innovative technology to deliver pure amplified tone that is truly musical, with stunning sonic realism, clarity, and feedback resistance.
The Fender Highway series does not represent a revision but a re-imagining of the acoustic experience, inviting players to throw away the map and get lost on the open road of creativity.
