Fender Highway Dreadnought All-Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Fishman Fluence Electronics

Developed by Fishman Fluence in collaboration with Fender, the engine driving the Highway acoustic-electric is a groundbreaking all-analog pickup system. The Fluence Core pickup’s curved form factor elegantly outlines the soundhole in an unobtrusive way that’s careful not to detract from the natural beauty of the guitar’s solid mahogany top. It’s also positioned in such a way that it captures the natural acoustic properties of the instrument with minimal coloration. Each aspect of the guitar and the Fishman Fluence acoustic pickup was engineered in tandem, building a proprietary system specially for Highway Series instruments. Amplified, the guitar is clear, responsive and noiseless. This custom-tailored Fishman Fluence system rejects feedback and delivers dynamic sound with consistent, high-fidelity output.  

Acoustic Sound, Electric Playability

Highway Series acoustic-electrics stand out with a distinctive Strat-style headstock. More than just an aesthetic choice, it’s indicative of the level of playability these guitars afford. While the string tension still feels like a standard acoustic guitar, the thinner C-shape neck is reminiscent of an electric, with a rosewood fingerboard supplementing a smooth tactile experience and robust sound. Paired with the contoured, lightweight body, it’s hard to believe there’s an acoustic guitar in your hands whenever you pick up a Fender Highway Series dreadnought. Whether you’re recording direct, playing live through an amp or strumming unplugged, the Highway hybrid retains the emotive tonality of a full-size acoustic instrument in a significantly more streamlined package.   

The Fender Highway Series dreadnought, with an inlaid mahogany top, sits at the crossroads of ageless and ultramodern. Fender tapped decades of luthier mastery to pioneer an acoustic-electric that’s exceptionally thinner and lighter than comparable instruments, without sacrificing any of the natural resonant bloom associated with larger guitars. Possessing drastically improved playability, massive unplugged sound and a groundbreaking pickup system, the Highway Series dreadnought is a high-performance daily driver, equally geared for the studio, the stage and anywhere in between.
