At the intersection of time-honoured acoustic guitar craft and relentless innovation, Highway Series™ instruments transport players to a new era of performance in a way that only Fender® can. Merging a thin, ergonomic form factor and a ground-breaking Fishman® Fluence® Acoustic Pickup system designed around a revolutionary bracing structure. Highway Series guitars exhibit the tactile charm and unplugged resonance of acoustics twice their size, adding unmatched on-lap comfort for a truly unique acoustic experience.
Crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top inlaid into a fully chambered Mahogany body, the Highway Series guitar is engineered with a proprietary internal architecture including a tapered floating X bracing pattern and inventive thinline design, producing remarkable resonance and dynamic, organic tone. With fidelity and performance at its core, the Fishman Fluence Acoustic Pickup system incorporates an elegantly curved magnetic Fluence® Core™ pickup with innovative all-analogue technology to deliver pure and truly musical amplified tone with astonishing sonic 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.
