Interestingly the Road Worn Telecaster is one of a very small number of guitars in Fender's range still finished in the traditional Nitrocellulose lacquer.[video_2]Tex-Mex Single Coil ToneThis Road Worn tele has all the spanky Tele tone that you'd want and expect from a 50's style guitar. It's got plenty of top-end bite and works beautifully as a rhythm guitar but will also cut through the mix when needed. The Tex-Mex single coils give this guitar a twangy response.Here's what Fender say about the Road Worn 50s TelecasterThe 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 maple-fingerboard Road Worn® '50s Telecaster 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.SpecificationsModel Name: Road Worn '50s TelecasterSeries: Road WornBody Material: AlderBody Finish: Road Worn Nitrocellulose LacquerBody Shape: TelecasterNeck Material: MapleNeck Finish: Road Worn UrethaneNeck Shape: "C" ShapeScale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)Fingerboard: MapleFingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm)Number of Frets: 21Fret Size: Narrow JumboString Nut: Synthetic BoneNut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)Position Inlays: DotTruss Rod Nut: 3/16" Hex AdjustmentBridge Pickup: Tex-Mex Single-Coil TeleNeck Pickup: Tex-Mex Single-Coil TeleControls: Master Volume, Master TonePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
