Fender Road Worn Guitars

Fender's Road Worn Series captures the very best bits of coveted vintage Fender guitars, but at prices that are far more in reach for players than those from their top-of-the-line Custom Shop range. Fender Custom Shop instruments are renowned for their "relic" (or "relic'd") nitro finishes, whereby the guitars are purposefully aged to look far older and more "beaten up" than they actually are. The paint coats are essentially worn down and distressed at specific points where your body makes contact with the guitar, and chip away at the extreme edges. It's not for everyone, but here at Andertons, we just love relic'd guitars!

All of Fender's Road Worn Stratocasters, Telecasters and bass guitars give you a great taste of that Custom Shop prestige. Specs-wise, they also typically adhere to an old-school vintage formula, so you'll find that most Fender Road Worn guitars and basses come equipped with period-correct '50s or '60s-inspired Maple necks, Alder or Ash bodies, and vintage-output pickups harking back to the "Golden Era" glory days of early blues and rock 'n' roll. Expect flair, dynamism and expression in the bucketloads!
