Some things just get better with age. It’s especially true of electric guitars and basses, they develop an unmistakable mojo over time that makes them look cooler and feel more comfortable than when they were new.
Fender Road Worn guitars and basses come with a running start on history bringing the player the best of both worlds, a superlative aged design aesthetic that invokes ghosts of past music lives, paired perfectly with the modern functionality, playability and high quality that players expect from Fender.
Based on the classic Fender instruments of the 1950s and 1960s and production methods invented at the world-renowned Fender Custom Shop, Road Worn Instruments reflect the mystic quality of life on the road.
The Fender Road Worn Series. Revved up and ready to make history.
Few things in this world are cooler than a ‘50s Stratocaster. They became even cooler after years of use (and abuse) on the road—morphing over time to look played and battered with use. Fender's new maple-neck Road Worn '50s Stratocaster delivers that aged look and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it. It’s designed with 1950’s specifications, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.
The Stratocaster really came into its own in the 1960s, with players coaxing unbelievable sounds from it amid punishing stage shows and gruelling tours. Beaten, bruised and burned, they only got better as the years passed—looking even cooler and feeling even more comfortable. Fender's new rosewood-fretboard Road Worn '60s Stratocaster delivers that aged look and feel—built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it, designed with 1960’s specifications, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.
Fender's long road began with the Telecaster, a guitar that amazingly, looked even cooler and looked even better the more players heaped wear-and-tear on it. Fender's new maple-fretboard 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 1950’s specifications, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.
The original Precision Bass was born in the '50s and produced the sound of bass. On the road, the more you punished a Precision, the more it gave back—a virtually indestructible bass that took a beating and scoffed when asked for more. Fender's new Road Worn '50s Precision Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel—designed with 1950’s specifications, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish.
The Jazz Bass was born in the 1960s and became the favourite of players who put as many miles on the instrument as they did on their tour buses. The more it was used (and abused), the more it growled back and became even more played-in. Fender's new Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel—designed with 1960’s specifications, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish.
