HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today announces the launch of The Highway Series, the newest iteration in Fender's investment in the acoustic category. Comprised of two different models, the more compact Parlor and the classic and fuller bodied Dreadnought, these acoustic guitars have been finely tuned for performance on and off the stage. While the designs of these instruments harkens back to a more traditional style, the technology and specifications are a nod to the future of acoustic guitar playing.

Key Points: 
  • Historically, acoustic guitars have been characterized by large and bulky body shapes, but the Highway Series challenges this industry standard.
  • Drawing inspiration from Fender's groundbreaking history of transforming the electric guitar landscape, the Highway Series is set to redefine the acoustic guitar experience.
  • At its core, the Highway Series is a multi-purpose guitar, carefully crafted to cater to the diverse needs of modern musicians.
  • While Fender's Acoustasonic® series pushed the boundaries of acoustic-electric design, the Highway Series strikes a harmonious balance between modern innovations and the timeless appearance of traditional guitars.

HOUSTON, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Battleship Texas Foundation is pleased to announce that the iconic Battleship Texas completed a milestone journey on Wednesday, August 31 from the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site to Galveston. The Battleship Texas, commissioned in 1914, is the only surviving dreadnought to have served in both World War I and World II. The historic ship will now undergo an extensive, $35 million repair at Gulf Copper & Manufacturing Corporation's shipyard to fix the hull. The Battleship Texas Foundation selected Gulf Copper's shipyard in October 2021 as the repair location since they recently acquired a floating drydock that is capable of lifting the Battleship Texas out of the water. In addition, the location of the yard in Galveston significantly reduced the risks associated with towing the Battleship Texas due to sheltered waters and a short travel distance.

  • Iconic 120-year-old Dreadnought served in both WWI and WWII, will receive a $35 million restoration
