I'm thinking of buying a used American Fender Telecaster Highway One guitar. Are these any good? Anybody have one that they can shed some info? I would like to hear pros and cons. Thanks! :?:

I have a Hwy 1 Strat and if it's anything like the quality of that, then yes, I'd say they are fine guitars.

I just got myself a Highway 1 Strat and I love it so far. A little bit of a differant sound than my other Strats. I also love the finish (mine's black). If you want it shiny it will buff up nicely. The Highway 1's are great for the money. :D

A Highway 1 is one hell of a Telecaster. Just so you know, It runs hot and can scream! I am sur eyou will enjoy.

One best guitars for the $$$ that Fender has come up with. I have a 2006 model which after a few minor improvements, has become my favorite guitar to play. I have been playing 35 years and already have some very nice guitars if that tells you anything.

I recently bought one of the new "upgrade" highway one teles (wine/rosewood) and I have to say this is a ridiculously good guitar for the money. Tonally, it is a little less twangy than a thoroughbred but doesn't give up that bright concise tone that you would expect from Fender's best. I wouldn't give it up for a guitar twice as expensive.
