Fender Highway Series Parlour Guitar, Natural

Revolutionary body design

Boasting a revolutionary body construction that takes modern acoustic guitar design to new heights. This model features Fender's advanced construction, including a floating "X" bracing pattern, inlaid solid top, and a unique 2.25" thick chambered body. These innovations result in the perfect harmony of comfort, resonance, and tonal quality. Its chambered body not only enhances the guitar's acoustic projection, but also provides unparalleled comfort, allowing you to play for hours on end without discomfort.

Silky-smooth playability

Adding to the overall aesthetic and playability of the Highway guitar is the choice of a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. This material is a premium hardwood known for its pleasingly dark look, smooth tactile feel, and rich tonal character. The use of rosewood not only enhances the visual appeal of the guitar but also contributes to its tonal clarity, warmth, and sustain. From strumming chords to fingerpicking intricate melodies, the rosewood on the Highway Series guitar offers a luxurious playing experience.

Transport your acoustics to the stage and studio

At the heart of the Highway Series is the Fishman Fluence Acoustic pickup, a marvel of acoustic electronics. This features a patent-pending curved form factor and all-analog electronics, ensuring pristine sonic clarity, responsiveness, and dynamic range. Engineered in collaboration between Fender and Fishman, every aspect of the guitar and pickup has been innovated in tandem to provide an exceptional acoustic experience. The unique internal architecture and integrated mounting system of the pickup further contribute to its whisper-quiet noiseless design, allowing your playing to take centre stage without any unwanted interference.

Shape your sound to suit any style

To give you even more control over your tone, the Highway Series includes intuitive controls for volume and contour. The contour seamlessly pans between two different EQ settings, allowing you to sculpt your sound to perfection. This feature gives you unique tonal control without compromising the natural acoustics of the instrument. From bold and punchy harmonics to more mellow and warm tones, the multi-voice control of the Highway Series ensures you can find your ideal voicing with ease.

Protect your instrument on the road

To ensure that your Highway Series guitar is protected both on and off the road, it comes with a deluxe gig bag. This features comfortable padded backpack straps for easy transportation, durable outer material to shield your instrument from the elements, and multiple pockets for storing your accessories. With ample storage, road-worthy protection, and portability, this deluxe gig bag is the perfect companion for the Highway Series guitar, allowing you to take your music wherever you go. Embrace the future of acoustic guitar design.
