Fender® Road Worn™ Guitars

The first Fender® workhorse, the original road warrior guitar.  Fender's long road begins with the Telecaster®, a guitar that amazingly looked even cooler and handled even better the more players heaped wear-and-tear on it-great when brand-new but positively phenomenal with a few thousand miles on it.  Fender's new maple-fretboard Road Worn™ '50s Tele® delivers that aged look and feel-built to look, sound and feel like it has survived half a century, designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.

Two models available,

013-1212-307 Fender® Road Worn™ '50s Tele® Blonde

013-1212-303 Fender® Road Worn™ '50s Tele® 2 Tone Sunburst

 Priced from $2399 srp incl gst.

Few things in this world have gotten cooler with age than the Stratocaster®.  Born in the '50s, they became even cooler after years of use (and abuse) on the road-morphing over time to look appealingly battered and feel even better than when they were brand-new.  Fender's new maple-fretboard Road Worn™ '50s Strat® delivers that aged look and feel-built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it, designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.

Two models available,

Priced from $2399 srp incl gst.

The Stratocaster® really came into its own in the 1960s, with players coaxing unbelievable sounds from it amid punishing stage shows and grueling tours.  Beaten, bruised and even burned, they only got better as the years wore on-looking even cooler and feeling even more comfortable.  Fender's new rosewood-fretboard Road Worn™ '60s Strat® delivers that aged look and feel-built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it, designed with 1960s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.

Two models available,

Fender® TB-600 Combo

TB = Tube Bass! The TB family provides professional bass amp solutions for players who are looking for a thick, natural and balanced tone that sits fat in their live or studio mix.

Based on the critically acclaimed TBP-1 tube bass pre-amp, the key to its creamy tone is a passive tone stack, the back bone of classic Fender® guitar and bass amps. A passive tone stack has an interactive nature, with each knob affecting the others, resulting in big warm notes that represent the natural sound of the bass being played. An overdrive section (Gain, Volume & Blend) sits on top of the clean channel, allowing you to dial in tones from a subtle grind to full on overdrive. Vari-Q"! is a smart semi-parametric EQ with a user selectable frequency and a cut/boost of 15 dB. When boosting frequencies, it automatically WIDENS the focus of the Q for a broader, more musical boost. When cutting frequencies, it automatically NARROWS the focus of the Q for a well-defined cut (notch). This intelligent Q control keeps "on the fly" operation simple and effective. Room Balance is a global EQ shift for cabinets/stage response. Clockwise turn cuts lower end frequencies while simultaneously raising upper frequencies. Counter-clockwise brings up lower end frequencies while simultaneously lowering upper frequencies. This knob does not affect the XLR out, so you can "dial in the stage" while giving the soundman an unaltered signal.
