A thin, comfortable acoustic that sounds big – and plugs in with realistic Fishman Fluence tone. The Fender Highway Series Dreadnought (Mahogany) re-imagines the acoustic guitar: a mahogany top on a fully chambered thinline mahogany body only 2.25″ deep, with tapered floating X bracing and the Fishman Fluence Acoustic pickup system. It feels as easy as an electric on your lap, yet keeps the resonance of a much bigger acoustic.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
Gigging singer-songwriters, worship and church players, electric players who want an acoustic that feels familiar, and anyone who finds a full-depth dreadnought uncomfortable.
