Road Worn 50's Stratocaster

Few things in this world have gotten cooler with age than the Stratocaster® guitar.

Born in the ’50s, they became even cooler after years of use (and abuse) on the road; morphing over time to look appealingly battered and feel even better than when they were brand-new. Fender’s maple-fretboard Road Worn™ ’50s Stratocaster delivers that aged look and feel - built to look, sound and feel like it has more than just a few miles on it. Designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.
