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.
