Fender Highway Series™ - A New Road for Acoustic Performance
At the crossroads of time honoured craft and fearless innovation, the Highway Series™ opens a new era of acoustic expression that only Fender® could create. With its ultra-thin, ergonomic body design and groundbreaking Fishman® Fluence® Acoustic Pickup System, this series delivers the tactile resonance of a full-bodied acoustic in a sleek, on-lap–friendly form.
Each model pairs a solid Sitka spruce with a fully chambered mahogany body, engineered with an exclusive floating X-bracing pattern for remarkable resonance and organic tone. The bolt-on mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard enhance comfort and playability, while the innovative thinline design ensures effortless performance both on stage and at home.
At its core, the Fishman Fluence Acoustic system redefines amplified tone, combining a curved magnetic Fluence® Core™ pickup with all analogue circuitry for astonishing clarity, realism, and feedback resistance: bringing out the true voice of the guitar in any setting.
Far more than an update, the Highway Series™ is a bold reimagining of the acoustic guitar; an invitation to leave the familiar behind and explore new creative horizons.
