Based on classic Fender instruments of the 1950s and '60s, Road Worn instruments are designed to "reflect the mystic quality of life on the road." The series consists of a '50s Tele®, '50s Strat®, '60s Strat, '50s Precision Bass® and '60s Jazz Bass® guitars.
                
                All models feature distressed nitrocellulose lacquer-finished bodies, as well as worn chrome hardware (nickel/chrome for basses), to create an aged appearance. Additionally, while the guitars have been designed with period-correct specifications, several modern upgrades have been built into each model, including Tex Mex™ single-coil pickups, larger 6105 frets, and five-way pickup switches (Strat models).
