Product Description
The first Fender workhorse; the original road warrior guitar. Fender's long road begins with the Telecaster, a guitar that amazingly looked even cooler and handled even better the more players heaped wear-and-tear on it - great when brand-new but positively phenomenal with a few thousand miles on it. Fender's new maple-freeboard Road Worn '50s Telecaster delivers that aged look and feel - built to look, sound and feel like it has survived half a century, designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex pickups and 6105 frets.
- Loaded with Tex Mex single-coil pickups this model offers the hot Tele tones achieved by employing over-wound vintage pickups.
- Equipped with Dunlop 6105 Narrow Jumbo frets, this model offers easier chording and string-bending than similarly radiuses vintage necks.
- Aged knobs, pickup covers and switch tip complement the distressed finish, and inclusion of a deluxe gig bag makes this an excellent buy.

When I saw the Roadworn strat I was extremely sceptical and could hardly wait to scoff and critisize it.First I was impressed with it's authentic feeling light weight. When I plugged it in (without knowing what pick-ups it had) I heard a great Strat-y tone. The 10 gauge set of strings (higher than standard shelf-strat gauges but lighter than my usual 11-52 preference) gave it great snap and twang. All the specs seemed as good as any relic I've played and of course the look was there. The price was my only concern, almost as much as a "real thing" American strat. But it felt and sounded GREAT! I reached an agreement with store and went for it. I've used it on many jobs and really like it. I have no regrets or dissappointments. I own more expensive Strats, including the Custom Shop 1954, but frankly don't want to take them to the rougher gigs. And I can't afford an actual 50's strat,... Read more |
