Fender Highway Series Parlor Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Series: Highway Series
Body Shape: Parlor Thinline
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Natural Satin Matte
Overview
The Fender Highway Series Parlor is a compact electro-acoustic guitar that reimagines traditional acoustic design with an innovative thinline body, distinctive Fender styling and advanced analogue electronics. Designed for musicians who value comfort and portability without sacrificing acoustic character, it is well suited to songwriting, fingerstyle playing, home recording and live performance.
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clear articulation, balanced resonance and responsive dynamics, while the fully chambered mahogany body contributes warmth and tonal depth. Fender's innovative internal architecture combines a tapered floating X-bracing pattern with a slim body design to create a resonant acoustic voice in a remarkably comfortable format.
A mahogany neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile and Indian rosewood fingerboard provides a familiar playing feel. The 24.75" scale length offers a slightly shorter reach than a standard Fender electric guitar, while the slim 2.25" body depth makes the instrument particularly comfortable when seated or performing on stage.
The integrated Fishman Fluence Acoustic pickup system uses innovative analogue technology to deliver a natural, detailed amplified sound with excellent clarity and feedback resistance. Simple volume and contour controls allow you to adjust your amplified tone quickly, making the Highway Series Parlor a practical choice for performers who need reliable sound on stage.
Finished in Natural Satin Matte with distinctive chequerboard detailing, chrome hardware and a six-in-line Fender headstock, the Highway Series Parlor combines contemporary acoustic engineering with unmistakable Fender character. A Deluxe 1225 gig bag is included for convenient storage and transport.
