Our Take:
The '50s Road Worn Stratocaster makes yet another excellent addition to Fender's Vintera series, bringing you a recreated '50s-style Stratocaster - at a fraction of the cost of a real vintage Strat. Boasting a trio of re-voiced Vintage-Style '50s Single-Coil Hot Strat® pickups, you'll find that this Strat has a bit more to say than usual, delivering fatter, more aggressive tone - but keeping things easy to play with a comfortable 7.25" radius fingerboard and a Thick Soft "V"-shaped neck. And of course, the Road Worn finish wholly completes the package, with authentic-looking relicing that makes this Strat look like it came straight from 1954.
Fender's Take:
The Vintera Road Worn® '50s Stratocaster recreates the look and feel of a well-loved original.
Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer – prized for its natural tonal qualities and distinct aging patterns, then hand-distressed for an authentically broken-in look, this Strat® delivers the bell-like tone and playing comfort you’d expect from a great vintage guitar.
For modern Fender® tone we re-voiced the trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups, kicking things up a bit by increasing the output. Crisp and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The updated Thick Soft “V”-shaped neck has a 7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, six-point synchronized tremolo and vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, 5-way pickup switching and the traditional Strat® control layout. Includes deluxe gig bag.
