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.
