It's generally considered that Fender electric guitars get cooler with age, you'll never find players such as John Mayer, Dave Gilmore or John Frusciante playing a brand spanking new strat or tele...older Fenders tend to wear in as they age, developing their own personality over the years of gigging, feeling more comfortable and looking cooler than when they were brand new. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the money to buy a real vintage guitar without selling a kidney, that's why Fender have introduced the Road Worn series guitars. Using aging techniques based on the processes used on Fender's Custom Shop Relic guitars, the Road Worn series offers more affordable, pre-aged, vintage looking instruments.
The nitrocellulose finish will wear in unlike a polyester finish which just chips and is too hard to wear in. The Road Worn guitars will look even better with a couple of years playing in them and i must say the relic job is top notch, the wear is just right and look and feel even better in the flesh.
This guitar is the Fender Road Worn 60's Stratocaster in Olympic White. Designed around the original 1960s specs, this Mexican made guitar features a pre-worn/beaten up finish on an alder body and maple neck, 3-ply aged scratchplate and vintage, pre-aged hardware. Classic stratocaster tones are delivered from Fender's Tex-Mex pickups whilst the rosewood fingerboard features modern 6105 style frets.
The Fender Road Worn 60's Strat offers awesome classic looks and that sought after vintage feel whilst still delivering the performance expected from a modern guitar...without being too much of a strain on your wallet!
