General

Fender usher in a new era for the electro-acoustic guitar with the Highway Series Parlor. Here, time-honoured tradition knits seamlessly with modern build techniques resulting in an impressive model featuring an all-solid construction. And, beneath the solid mahogany soundboard of the ultra-thin chambered body, a brand new bracing structure ensures optimal vibrational transfer from the strings through the resonant chamber. The ultra-modern yet elegant Fender Highway Parlor comes complete with a Fender Deluxe 1225 Gig Bag.

The Fender Highway Parlor: The New Way

Most electro-acoustic models will come with a piezo pickup fitted beneath the bridge, which is the point at which the strings vibrate the least, resulting in amplified that isn't always the best. In collaboration with Fishman, Fender have solved this problem with an exclusive Fishman Fluence pickup, specially developed for the series. This pickup sits next to the soundhole and captures the point where the strings vibrate the most, which essentially translates into full sound packed with full-definition dynamics. Other special details include the Contour control pot, which can be dialled up to bring in the full frequency spectrum, warming up the sound to accompany vocals. Or it can be twisted the other way to pull back the basses, enhance the mid-range and set up the sound for playing with a full band. Another nice bonus is the non-existent feedback. You can literally hold this guitar in front of the speaker and nothing will happen.

Comfort & Stability

Bearing meticulous design details from every angle, the Fender Highway Parlor offers finger-picking guitarists maximum comfort, while the lightweight and slimline body will definitely please guitarists seeking something more manageable than a full-sized dreadnought. The 24.75 inch scale shortens the distance between the Graph Tech TUSQ nut and Modern Viking bridge, reducing the string tension, which combines with the pre-installed set of .011-gauged strings to ease the load on the fret hand. The body of this model is also just 57mm thick, while smooth contours ease the feel beneath the forearm and a belly cut gives this instrument its immediately snug and controlled feel.

Fender Highway Series Parlor RW All-Mahogany Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Deluxe Gig Bag

Wrote the following about Fender Highway Series Parlor RW All-Mahogany Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Deluxe Gig Bag
Une guitare acoustique avec une ergonomie de guitare électrique, la facilité de jeux compense pour moi la différence sonore. En effet la finesse du corps ne permet pas de rivaliser avec une guitare large caisse en acoustique, mais rassurez vous tout change en la branchant! Sur mon Marshall AS50D le son est rond et plein et cet instrument devient une merveille que je peux me permettre de conseiller sans réserve!

Prima bespeelbaar gitaartje. Het geluid akoestisch is niet goed te noemen wat niet raar is gezien het formaat van de kast. Versterkt is hij prima. Echter was hij naar mijn smaak te hoog afgesteld, wat niet in de winkel verholpen kon worden. Er werd een andere uit een ander filiaal besteld, na een paar dagen kreeg ik de mededeling dat de gitaar pas in week 31 beschikbaar was. Dat duurde mij te lang dus heb ik de gitaar terug gegeven.
