Product Description

Some things just improve with age, and Guitars definitely fit in that category! But the sad truth is that few of us will get to own a genuine 50s Telecaster with decades of wear and tear, but anyone can can get an awesome and jaw dropping realistic replica!

The folks at Fender have done their utmost to give the Road Worn Telecaster a really worn-in feel and look. Interestingly the Road Worn Telecaster is one of a very small number of guitars in Fender's range still finished in the traditional Nitrocellulose lacquer.

Tex-Mex Single Coil Tone

This Road Worn tele has all the spanky Tele tone that you'd want and expect from a 50's style guitar. It's got plenty of top-end bite and works beautifully as a rhythm guitar but will also cut through the mix when needed. The Tex-Mex single coils give this guitar a twangy response.

Here's what Fender say about the Road Worn 50s Telecaster

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 maple-fingerboard 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.

Great sound and amazing colour!

Trusted Customer28th Oct 2019

Cette guitare est incroyable. Incroyablement belle, incroyablement confortable (même si le manche est un peu épais). Sortie du carton, accordée, rien de plus : les réglages sont bons ! Elle sonne super même si les micros sont basiques. On sent la fiabilité et la robustesse de l'instrument, qui donnent confiance dans son avenir. Très inspirante, je suis très content de cette série limitée.

Great to play and love the worn in feel.

Trusted Customer9th Sep 2019

Nice guitar ,good set up but will probably upgrade the pickups .Some of the parts could be aged to suit other components e.g control plate

Ms Ann-Kristin Lorentsen21st Aug 2019

Stunning guitar both in looks and sound, recommend it to any sort of guitar player out there. Also not too expensive, great price.

The guitar is as expected; its not feather light, but one of the lightest Teles I´ve got. It played well after setting it up and a change of strings. And after I swapped the bridge to a bridge with compensated brass saddles it is really great! :) My new fav definitely! Next gig is on Saturday August 17th, so I look forward to performing with my new "Lilah", as I call her, then. :)

Great good looking guitar, better then expected. Needed a little taking care of in terms of setup but that's about it. Feels great to play it and sounding amazing.

Mr. Nathan Adlem30th Mar 2019
