Fender Road Worn Player Stratocaster HSS Candy Apple Red

There is something about an older guitar that makes it comparable to fine wine that has aged over the years. The sound is just more "mature". If you're in a hurry to get that "mature" guitar sound, then there's no need for you to spend countless hours out on the road with a fresh guitar to get that kind of a sound. Fender has done all that aging for you with the Fender Road Worn Player Stratocaster HSS. With this guitar, you no longer have to try and go a la Antonio Stradivari, submerging a guitar's wooden components in a river to get that aged sound.

The popular Road Worn® series instruments struck a chord with guitarists with their aged, well-played look and feel and their incredible value. New Road Worn Player series guitars take the experience a step further with modern player-centric modifications including hotter pickups for smoldering, gritty tone and a flatter fingerboard for smooth, effortless bends. Lightly aged with care, Road Worn Player guitars feel immediately comfortable and familiar, offering endless miles of musical inspiration.

The Road Worn Stratocaster HSS guitar features an alder body with a lightly worn lacquer finish, modern “C”-shaped maple neck with lightly worn urethane finish, rosewood fretboard with 9.5” radius and medium jumbo frets, Texas Special™ neck and middle pickups, Seymour Duncan® Pearly Gates humbucking bridge pickup, five-way switching, aged knobs and switch tip, three-ply pickguard, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, and deluxe gig bag.
