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 new maple-fretboard Road Worn '50s Tele 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.

Comments about Fender Road Worn 50's Telecaster Electric Guitar:
To be honest, I wasn't a Tele fan until I played this guitar. But the neck fits your hand like a glove (reminds me of the speedy compound radius necks on Jackson guitars) and the Dunlop 6105 frets are incredibly comfortable, especially when bending strings. I usually swap out the stock pickups on my Fenders for Tex Mex single coils and it was great to see them as a standard feature on the 50's Road Worn Tele -- because let's be honest, the stock pickups on most Fender guitars are usually pretty weak. But the Tex Mex pickups are powerful, throaty, and flat out sing with distortion -- even on high gain settings. The body is really light and comfortable, and you can feel it resonate when you play a chord -- which is how to tell if a guitar is well made. It doesn't look "authentically" aged, so that might seem a little cheesy to most people who prefer to beat up their guitars the old fashioned way, but it's still a cool looking guitar and you can always throw it down the stairs or drag it behind your truck for a more authentic vintage "relic" look. I'm very picky about guitars but this is one of the few that I don't have any major complaints about - just wish it came in more colors. My main guitar is a Gibson Les Paul (Slash signature model) and I also have a few vintage strats, but after playing the '50s Road Worn Tele I find myself attracted to this guitar more than anything else in my collection. It's the easiest playing guitar I've ever picked up.
