Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I work and teach in several music stores and get my hands on a lot of Strats. When I saw the Roadworn strat I was extremely sceptical and could hardly wait to scoff and critisize it.
First I was impressed with it's authentic feeling light weight. When I plugged it in (without knowing what pick-ups it had) I heard a great Strat-y tone. The 10 gauge set of strings (higher than standard shelf-strat gauges but lighter than my usual 11-52 preference) gave it great snap and twang. All the specs seemed as good as any relic I've played and of course the look was there.
The price was my only concern, almost as much as a "real thing" American strat. But it felt and sounded GREAT! I reached an agreement with store and went for it. I've used it on many jobs and really like it. I have no regrets or dissappointments. I own more expensive Strats, including the Custom Shop 1954, but frankly don't want to take them to the rougher gigs. And I can't afford an actual 50's strat, which I would REALLY be scared to take to some of these jobs.
I like the look, feel, fun, and most of all TONE of this strat, and it's not irreplaceable. I was sceptical, but it won me over.

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.
