| Fender Road 60's Strat in Sunburst
Guitar Mania says: When you first look at it you'll think it was a Fender Custom Shop guitar. Even up close and when you play it, the sound is right up there with the Custom's. There are still, to my amazement, some people that just don't get the whole relic thing, sadly you are missing out. The sound, look and feel of this guitar is just like a real vintage instrument but without the gamble. Trying to find a legit vintage instrument is a nightmare. I would estimate that probably as many as 1/2 of the "genuine" vintage guitars are actually very well made fakes. Imagine forking out £20,000 on a fake ? For less than £900 you get a REAL Fender, with back up, warranty and a great vintage look, feel AND sound.
Why not relic your own ? I get this a asked a lot. Do not think for one minute that you can just duff up your old Mex Strat and get the same thing. The lacquer is different for one thing, but these Mexican Custom Shop guys have got the design absolutely spot on.
Fender says: Like classic cars or your favorite T-shirt, some things just get cooler
with age. It’s especially true of electric guitars-they develop an
unmistakable mojo over time that only makes ‘em look even cooler and
feel even more comfortable than when they were brand-new. That said,
Fender’s new Road Worn™ ‘60s Strat guitar delivers that killer aged
look, feel and mojo without breaking the bank; designed using 1960s
specs augmented by Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets. A true player. |
