Road Worn 60s Stratocaster

At the forefront of Winter NAMM 2009, Fender revealed their new Road Worn Series guitars and basses for 2009. For players who desire that banged up, beaten, used and abused vintage relic’d appearance but don’t have the spare $2 – $3 grand for a Fender Custom Shop Time Machine relic, let alone the cash to purchase an authentic vintage Fender, then read on…

Fender’s new Road Worn Series include a variety of guitars and basses, such as Fender’s ’50s and ’60s Strats, ’50s Tele, and a ’50s Precision and ’60s Jazz bass. The instruments are Made in Mexico (MIM), and feature distressed nitrocellulose-finished bodies and worn necks. Combined with the aforementioned Road Worn features, the instruments also incorporate a number of sensible modern upgrades.

All of the guitars are supercharged with Fender’s Tex-Mex pickups and feature larger 6105 frets, although vintage originals use 3-way selector switches, the Road Worn Stratocasters come equipped with five-way pickup selector switches.

The main picture (above) illustrates the ’60s Stratocaster in Olympic white. Also available is three-color sunburst. Although there’s a two-color sunburst option. Below is the ’50s Strat in two-color sunburst, also available is a prominent Clapton-esque black finish:

We’ll see more of these incredibly enticing instruments in the flesh at Winter NAMM 2009, which begins January 15th.

The Fender Road Worn will sell for around $899 for the guitars and $1199 for the basses. For more information, visit Fender’s official website: http://www.fender.com/roadworn/
