Fender Road Worn '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar Black

I truly believe, these Mexican '50's copies will become a sought after vintage, in years to come. They are closer to the old pieces than the American counterparts, in my opinion, and Danny and Devin at GC , Carle Place, NY, were totally customer service oriented. I am very satisfied with my purchases from these knowledgeable folks.

Great sounds, looks, and feel. My only issue with this strat is that it goes out of tune easily. Even when the strings a put on perfectly it still goes out of tune. However, I did get mine used (if that matters)

This is my 3rd mexican strat and i was completely blown away by it, i've always preferred the Mexican strats over the USA ones, prefer the tone and also price is a big factor, but sincerely this is a really great guitar, the clarity of the pick ups is awesome, the looks are amazing; didnt like that much the strings it came with, but that will get replaced soon! relic is nice, not too overdone as others i've seen. Only complain is that the pick guard came without the plastic cover, and if it was a new guitars it was supposed to have it!

I had a 2009 road worn and I loved the look of it but the playability was rough at best and it was too light around my neck (5lbs or so?) ay to light, so in 2015 I traded it in for another fender (60th anniversary)and was pleased... but i so missed the look of the road worn that I bought another. I do like that the 2016 model is heavier... but the look of it is sadly lacking in character (it also still frets out!!!) and it is the worst relic job i have seen from fender and I've seen a lot. Listen Fender; I love most everything you make and have around twenty five strats (and more than a few of your amps) go back to the way you made these road worns in 2009 but keep the weight of them heavier and also please, please no more 7.25 radius ...it just seems unnecessary when 9.25 is so much easier to deal with.

I own a black 1996 American Made Fender Strat Plus with a rosewood fingerboard that I bought new 18 years ago for $900. This has been the only guitar that I have ever owned. I love it. However, I have always wanted a maple neck sunburst strat for a change of look and sound. I thought the American Standard 3 tone sunburst was the way I was going to go. That is what everyone ends up getting right? But it was $1500. Well, after years of contemplating and shopping around (18 to be exact) I came across the 50s Road Worn 2-tone sunburst Strat. It had everything I wanted: maple neck, sunburst (the 2-tone actually looks better than the 3-tone), completely different look, feel, and sound compared to the Strat Plus I already had. BUT this one had a distressed look that made it different and unique compared to the American Standard Strat that everyone else has. And it was nearly half the price of an American Standard Strat. I've played the Am Standard Strats many times. The 50s Road Worn feels amazingly better. Without question this is The One! Sure it is made in Mexico. Who really cares. This guitar feels and sounds better than the made in America $1500 American Standard Strat. And it looks better too. BUY IT. You will NOT be disappointed.

is it in my head ? or is it real ? i don't know nor do i care , this guitar is cool , its sounds different ,looks different,feels different , & so i play different , the more i play it , the more i want to hear it , the more i want to look at it , i have MANY guitars all strats , i know some are more comfortable than others some sound better that others , but this guitar has some kind of mojo !!!!!!! I Love It !!!
