This New Tele Looks and Feels Like a Real Road Warrior!

The FENDER® Road Worn '50s Tele® solidbody electric guitar puts the looks and feel of a well-used vintage Telecaster® in your hands - without the vintage price tag! Looking at the Road Worn '50s Tele®, you'd swear it was a classic instrument with some serious road miles on it, but this one's brand-new! Though it looks vintage, this guitar's two Tex Mex single-coil pickups provide increased output for playing a range of styles. This axe features a real nitrocellulose lacquer finish on its distressed alder body, while its maple neck and jumbo frets make the Road Worn '50s Tele a joy to play!



Fender Road Worn '50s Tele Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Brand new guitar, broken-in feel
  • Ready for action

Brand new guitar, broken-in feel
The '50s Tele®: the first Fender workhorse and 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.

Ready for action
The Road Worn '50s Tele was designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, then supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets so it can hold the stage alongside anybody. Whether you're chicken pickin', jazzing it up, or rocking out, this guitar will keep up - and your crowd (and possibly even your band) will think you've been taking this axe on the road with you for years.

$700?? Buy It!!

by Tom from Los gatos, CA
November 27, 2010
Music Background: serious recordist (PT 9 w/ BLA modded gear), hobbyist
I played one of these at a local music store, and there was a 50's esquire (used, but looked as nice as the new one hanging next to it, and the used one was selling for $450, same "feel" as the RW) th... read more [+]at I almost walked out with. I decided to go take a look in the consigment shop across the parking lot, and lo and behold, there was a RW tele, for $650. Bought it on the spot. I love the guitar, but I didn't want to spend $900 on it...new for $700, your crazy if your a tele lover and don't buy one of these. they all probably need a set up, but the Tex-mex PU's sound awsome, for any style of music. I love the fat neck, and the "relic" job is pretty cool. One of the most comfortable guitars I have ever played. I have a 94 LP Standard that I bought used from the original owner ($1200) and a "custom assembled" Strat (Keith Holland Guitars in Los Gatos CA), and this one will definitely see more playing time than either one of those. Plus, who cares if it gets beat up? Buy it now! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
