Product Description

Like classic cars or your favorite T-shirt, some things just get cooler with age. It's especially true of electric guitars--they develop an unmistakable mojo over time that only makes 'em look even cooler and feel even more comfortable than when they were brand- new. Fender's Road Worn '50s Tele guitar delivers that killer aged look, feel and mojo without breaking the bank; designed using 1950s specs augmented by Tex-Mex pickups and 6105 frets. A true player.

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-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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (16 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Tele!"
Overall: First of all, let's get something straight. I don't like "relic" guitars. But after doing a lot of searching, this one was the only one that incorporated all of the features I wanted in a new Telecaster, so I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. I'm glad I did. The playability is terrific, the sound is great, and it is a premium Telecaster regardless of having been made in Mexico and regardless of being a "relic". I took half a star off under quality because the pickguard could have been fitted better and if you tilt your head and look down, the bridge route shows just a bit from under the edge of the bridge, but both of those items are small to the point of insignificance. I had planned to gut it and rewire it with some Fralins, but after receiving the guitar and playing it, I don't feel that is needed. The stock pickups are amongst the best I've heard. Tone and volume controls are both responsive, and all the change is not piled at one end as I've found on many stock guitars. Overall, this is certainly one of the "most bang for your buck" candidates from the Fender Telecaster line-up. It conjures the old pre-CBS Telecaster I played in the late 1960s very, very well. If you're looking for a traditional Telecaster, this one is highly recommended. The Wow Factor? Playability! This thing feels like an old friend right out of the box. Get one.
Style of Music: Country, classic rock, southern rock, blues, Texas blues.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Feels like your favorite baseball mitt"
Overall: I never played a guitar that felt this good in my hands. I liked the idea or a worn in guitar, but didn't like that they all looked alike. When I finally picked one up to try out, it was all over. It's like your favorite shirt or baseball mitt . The pickups in this guitar sound better than most other teles I have tried. Great guitar and worth the money for me.I've had it for 9 months now, and I am thinking of another one for a backup.
