Today, Fender unveiled the highly anticipated The Highway Series, the newest iteration in Fender’s long acoustic history and is tailor-made for live performers searching for reliability, predictability and road-tested sound in their guitar.
At the intersection of time-honoured acoustic guitar craft and relentless innovation, Highway Series™ instruments transport players to a new era of performance in a way that only Fender® can. Merging a thin, ergonomic form factor and a groundbreaking Fishman® Fluence® Acoustic Pickup system designed around a revolutionary bracing structure, Highway Series guitars exhibit the tactile charm and unplugged resonance of acoustics twice their size, adding unmatched onlap comfort for a truly unique acoustic experience.
Live acoustic performances are renowned for providing some of the most captivating musical moments for audiences. To help launch the new iteration of Fender’s acoustics, the brand teamed up with Mt. Joy to share a behind-the-scenes look at how artists navigate on-stage performances, night-to-night, from soundcheck to center stage with Fender’s all-new short video documentary, “On The Road”. The video is an authentic love letter to live performance and captures the highs and lows of a traveling band, set to the sounds of an acoustic atmosphere that can only be achieved through a Fender guitar.
