Fender Road Worn 60s Stratocaster with Gig Bag

The Fender Road Worn '60s Electric Guitar: broken in like your favorite pair of shoes.
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 brandnew. That said, Fender’s new Road Worn ’60s Strat guitar delivers that killer aged look, feel and mojo without breaking the bank; designed using 1960s specs augmented by Tex-Mex pickups and 6105 frets. A true player. Deluxe gig bag included.

Subject:Fender Road Worn 60s Stratocaster
Quality: Seems like a well made guitar. Actually feels better to me than the American Standard.
Reliability: I just got this guitar, but I don't think reliability will be an issue. It's definitely a gig guitar and you won't get your heart broken if it gets scuffed or scratched.
Overall: This is a good guitar for the money. I wish it came with a hardshell case, but they had to cut corners somewhere. Finish is very nice and smooth. Fender has done a great job with the aging process, and it looks authentic, and not just "worn".
Playability and Feel: Plays very well. Pretty light guitar thanks to the Alder body, but it sustains very well. The action could be a little lower for my taste, but it just needs to be professionally set up. Plays very good out of the box. But you will need to change the strings. I haven't seen a guitar yet that came from the factory with decent strings on it.
Tone: I was expecting the pickups to be a little hotter than they are, but they are period accurate. That's not to say it doesn't have a wide range of tones. You can get that SRV tone from the neck, but not as thick as I've heard on other strats. The Bridge/Middle position is spot on for the "Highway Song" or "Sultans of Swing" tone. It's sounds like it just jumped off the album. Very good bright cleans.
Finish: Satin and smooth. Most '60s era strats have a half pound of finish on the neck so you cannot move on it. Not this one. Very smooth and is almost down to the bare wood. Very comfortable and the guitar can breath affecting it's overall tone.
Action: Playable, but I still plan to have it set up as I do with all my guitars. Truss rod is accessible under the pickguard which is a turn off to me, but again period accurate.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro
