At the intersection of traditional acoustic guitar craftsmanship and relentless innovation, Highway Series™ instruments transport players into a new era of performance in a way that only Fender® can. Combining a slim, ergonomic form factor and a revolutionary Fishman® Fluence® Acoustic Pickup system, designed around a groundbreaking bracing structure, Highway series guitars showcase the tactile charm and unplugged resonance of acoustics twice their size, adding unmatched lap comfort for a truly unique acoustic experience.
Made with either solid Sitka spruce or authentic mahogany top set in a fully chambered mahogany body, Highway series guitars are designed with a proprietary internal architecture that includes a floating conical X-bracing pattern and an inventive slim design, producing remarkable resonance and 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 innovative fully analog technology to deliver a pure and truly musical amplified tone, with stunning sound realism, clarity, and feedback resistance.
The Fender Highway series represents not 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.
