Fender Road Worn
The Fender Vintera II Road Worn series wraps up the sound and the style of the beloved Vintera II series in a subtly aged nitro-lacquer finish, granting you the aged-in aura of an instrument that’s been played for decades. Each guitar and bass in the lineup begins with the same era-authentic neck, pickups, and hardware of its Vintera II counterpart — in short, the tried-and-true components of Fender’s most treasured golden-age creations. Finished off with copious checking lines and a sweet, semi-gloss shine, you can rest assured that no matter which Fender Vintera II Road Worn you choose, it’s guaranteed to feel like a well-worn friend from first strum.
True to their vintage heritage, Vintera II Road Worn instruments boast the same type of finish found on Fender’s 1950s and 1960s golden-age creations: nitrocellulose lacquer. This spec is generally reserved for Fender’s premier vintage reissues and Custom Shop showpieces, and it’s championed by vintage Fullerton fanatics for its tendency to gracefully break in over time. Best of all, Fender’s Road Worn treatment ensures that each guitar and bass in the lineup comes right out of the case with the authentic aging, winding checking lines, and a semi-gloss glow.
Loaded with period-correct pickups, Fender Vintera II Road Worn instruments capture both the vibe and the sound of their historic predecessors. Each model in the lineup comes equipped with pickups that emulate the tone, the looks, and even the construction of Fender’s most legendary coils. Whether you’re after 1960s-era Tele bite and Strat chime or the warm, full-range character of a late 1950s Jazzmaster, the Vintera II Road Worn Series runs the gamut of classic Fender tones.
There’s nothing quite like the worn-in feel of an old Fender in your hands. To capture that sought-after vibe, Vintera II Road Worn guitars and basses brandish neck profiles directly inspired by the finest vintage Fenders, complete with era-accurate 7.25-inch radii and ever-so-slightly modernized Vintage Tall frets. To seal the deal, the back of each Vintera II Road Worn instrument’s neck features the same subtly aged, semi-gloss nitro-lacquer finish as the body for a supremely smooth feel in your palm.
