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
