| GREAT NITRO finish! Very thin which makes it sound like it should! I LOVE IT! |

| FENDER...that word means quality and craftsmanship. I am proud to own this guitar. |
| Sound:
| classic Fender Twang!! |
| Reliability:
| So far I have only had it for a week but it is a Fender enough said! |
| Overall:
| This is a steal!! The craftsmanship is incredible. I still can't believe that you can get this MIA Fender for under $700 This is a dream come true |
| Playability and Feel:
| This guitar plays fast and smooth. Everything is well adjusted. |
| Tone:
| With the Bridge pickup...it is the classic Fender Tele Twang. The neck pickup is the classic Fender bell tone...combine both and you have heaven! |
| Finish:
| I love the nitrocellulose finish...the matte finish is gorgeous nice wood grain can be seen |
| Action:
| Fantastic...this was the best set up from the factory that I have ever had! I didn't have to change a thing. |

| 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 |

| Subject: | Not just for country! |
| Quality:
| Yes, I think this product is very well made. No visible flaws whatsoever and feels very solid. No loose screws or uneven joints. |
| Sound:
| Excellent. This guitar has some of the best clean tones I've heard coming off my fingers in a long while; what else can you expect from fender. I might be one of the few tele owners that doesn't play country nor do I chicken pick, even though this guitar is perfect for that. Even so, I still think the neck pickup is the warmest, cleanest, smoothest single coil I would ever need while the bridge pickup has plenty of punch and "twang" if you need it. |
| Reliability:
| So far so good, although I might replace the bridge soon as it looks a bit rickety, but certainly playable. |
| Overall:
| This guitar is a tone machine! I was a little weary of ordering a guitar directly from an online store but American Musical Supply alleviated all concerns from the start. They provided quick shipping and excellent customer support. The guitar arrived on time and came nearly ready to play right out of the box. The neck joint was fine, finish was what I expected, and after a minor adjustment of intonation and the truss rod, it was completely perfect. |
| Playability and Feel:
| The guitar isn't heavy, just right. The c shaped neck is very comfortable and the finish on the fingerboard is definitely enjoyable; not the satin finish but smooth none-the-less. The controls are in the perfect spot on all telecasters! |
| Tone:
| Pickups are a bit hotter than the Mexican Teles I played in the store. The bridge pickup is bright and punchy while the neck is dark and smooth, pretty jazzy even. |
| Finish:
| Three tone sunburst looks great! |
| Action:
| The action was pretty close to how I like my guitars set up, right out of the box. |
