Fender Road Worn Electric Guitars, Basses Debut At Musician's Friend

PRWeb is reporting:

Musician's Friend announces the launch of Fender's Road Worn series in advance of its debut at Winter NAMM 2009--the January 15-18 2009 music trade show. Beginning today, Musician's Friend is accepting preorders and will soon begin shipping these highly anticipated guitars that mimic the look of instruments that have been played and loved for years.

Based on classic Fender guitars and basses of the 1950s and 1960s, Road Worn instruments are skillfully aged, incorporating processes invented in the Fender Custom Shop. "Distressed" models emulating the worn look of instruments that have been played hard have been available from the Fender Custom Shop for years. But unlike those handcrafted instruments that carry a hefty price tag, the new Fender Road Series instruments are offered at prices easily accessible to working musicians.

The much-anticipated Fender Road Worn series appeals to guitarists and bassists drawn to the comfortable, broken-in vibe of a well-loved instrument. Incorporating vintage specs, each Road Worn electric guitar and bass is shipped in perfect playing condition though it wears the scars of life on the road. As with the battle-scarred favorite guitars of artists like ERIC CLAPTON, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, KEITH RICHARDS, and MIKE MCCREADY, the distressed finishes and parts used in Road Worn instruments suggest countless gigs and years spent under hot stage lights. Fender steeps each of their five Road Worn models--that include two Stratocaster models, a Telecaster, a Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass - with this soulful vibe.
