Electric GuitarSome things always get cooler with age, and this is especially true for electric guitars and basses. Over time they develop a distinctive personality, become more attractive and feel better and better in the hand. The guitars and basses of the Fender Road Worn series show signs of their past and provide the player with a spectacular 'aged' design that brings to life the spirit of glorious rock 'n' roll times. They simultaneously offer the modern features, playability and excellent quality that one can expect from Fender. For the instruments of the Road Worn series, Fender classics, made with production techniques of the world famous Fender Custom Shop, were the godfathers of the '50s and '60s.It was the first Fender workhorse and the original 'road warrior' guitar. Fender's long road began with the Telecaster, a guitar that became surprisingly more and more attractive and felt better and better the more it was played.
It is beautiful when bought new, but becomes absolutely phenomenal after a few thousand miles of touring. The new Fender Road Worn 50's Tele with maple fretboard offers an aged look and vintage feel makes it look, sound and feel as if it had been made half a century ago. It is made according to the specifications of the 1950's original, varnished with nitrocellulose lacquer and equipped with TEX-MEX pickups and 6105 frets.
Mexico - AGED. Ash body. One-piece maple neck with nitrocellulose laquer.
C neck profile. Maple fretboard. 21 6105 frets.
Scale: 648 mm. Nut width: 42 mm. 2 Tex Mex single coil pickups. Vintage bridge with string-through-body. 1-Ply black pickguard.
3-Way switch. Chrome-coloured hardware. Colour: Blonde. Deluxe gig bag included.
Right in front: I am immortally immersed in this guitar.Optics: In my subjective opinion, Blonde is probably the most beautiful color to destroy. The little quirks that were added to this guitar look just great. Even if you know it is a false hare, it feels like you have a 50 year old instrument in your hand.
Somehow, my model is clearly decent 'destroyed' than in the photos. Especially the neck and the fingerboard are not so worn out.
You're also very good.Processing: Everything sits, nothing wobbles and looks good. TopFeatures: Well, she does not have many features, but she does not have to have stupid category. The lack of Internet access interferes very much and I personally actually in my instruments always have Bluetooth. Can one retrofit.Playability: The neck is madness. He feels sober and playing is just fun. The handling has really great similarities to real vintage guitars.
Of course, a Strat is better or easier to play, but it is now a tele.Sound: No matter how you screw on the pot, it always sounds cool.Possibly. A bit aggressive in the heights but exactly we want from a tele.She feels from clean to crunch pudelwohl, with higher gain she tends to a little mud.I use them mainly in indie and punk. There she feels very comfortable.The dirty and powerful sound fits perfectly.Compared to my Strat (HSS equipped, Mexico), the tele only hits at high-gain worse.
Otherwise, the sound of the tele is always a bit more lively, not as dry as in Strat.But there is a small deduction.The guitar produces a slight noise, which only stops when you touch any metal part on the body. Probably only a small easy to fix error, but in my opinion should be noticed in the final inspection. When playing the game is not at all but at 1000 euros you do not want something like that.Despite this small drawback the sound is top.Conclusion: If you want a tele, which can mix up the top can be found here if the optics pleases.Here you can see the valuable components clearly and hardly notice the production in Mexico.Thank you Thomann you are the best partner agency in the world!Great guitar, I love her:)Update: The fingerboard is significantly less geage in the current series, the one could update with the product photo times.
Loved my 60's RW except for the neck felt a little small for my large hands. Still sounded like way more guitar than the money, and the nitro finish felt great.
Big frets, and even went back to the tex mex pickups after swapping in a few others. Fantastic guitar for the money. The trem on mine had action like butter. The ones made after 2013 had less of a relic job and I preferred the looks of those. At the same time the 65 AVRI is a superior instrument, and I love that neck carve. Can't go wrong for the money on each.
