Yes, they are no more.

If you want one, you had better buy soon. Musiciansfriend.com still has a few. I love my Strat and Tele. Sorry to see the Hwy1 go the way of the Esprit. :(

They still sell them, but from what I see so far, they only offer them in two colors, three tone sunburst and flat black. The black looks pretty cool with a maple fingerboard IMHO. I also notice the bodies are mostly made of four piece alder instead of three like back in 07 and before. My 07 sunburst is a three piece.

I work at a shop that carries Fender and we haven't been able to order any new Highway One's for about six months now. I kind of figured they would eventually phase it out when the American Specials came out. Both the Highway Ones and the new Am Specials are great guitars. I have a Highway One (albeit an old one), it's still a shame to see them go.
