A review & demo of a 2006 Highway One Telecaster from Fender. 

The Highway One Telecaster features an alder body, modern C-shaped maple neck with a maple fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, two hot single-coil Telecaster pickups with alnico 3 magnets, Greasebucket™ tone circuit and satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

Super-size frets, '70s styling, new Alnico pickups and new colours take this amazing  guitar to the next level. The new pickups on the Highway One Telecaster guitar produce a more round sound with that great Fender sparkle; it also has great high-gain sounds. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body wood's natural tone shine through, making for one of the most exciting new instruments in the Fender family.

The updated Highway One's were introduced in 2006 and were discontinued in 2010. The Daphne Blue finish was only available in late 2006 and 2007 with either a rosewood or maple fingerboard.

5 quick differences between the Fender American Special Series Stratocaster and the new Fender American Performer Series Stratocaster. The Fender American Special Series has been part of the Fender Catalogue for the past eight years. It was introduced as a direct replacement for the Highway One series of guitars. ‘Hand Crafted’ at Fender USA plant in Carona, California the series remains the most affordable USA made guitars. Over the few years Fender has been actively revamping and updating its product lines and along the way has renamed several of it models.

The first to get rebranded was the American Deluxe Series which was renamed the American Elite Series. 

The next year the American Standard Series got a make over and became the American Professional Series. 

More recently the American Vintage Series took on the new moniker of the American Originals Series. 

Earlier in 2018 the humble Mexican made Standard Series got its 
make over and the Player Series was born.

So as we close out 2018 the American Special’s are no more and the American Performers take to the stage. With new tuners, pickups and available finishes on bot maple and rosewood fingerboard options. Join us as we take a look at 5 quick differences between the Strat models old and new.
