Road Worn, Road Ready!

Each Limited Edition Vintera II Road Worn Guitar or Bass starts with an alder body and a Road Worn Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. These specific finishes recall the standard and custom-color finishes from the Pre-CBS Fender catalogue, all with light checking, gentle wear patterns, and a semi-gloss finish, for that “broken in” feeling that we love about vintage instruments! Of course, another perk of this nitro lacquer finish is that as the decades go on, each guitar and bass in this series will age similarly to how real vintage Fender Guitars and Basses have aged, picking up character from a lifetime of play!

Under the hood, period-correct, vintage-style pickups deliver the authentic tones that made each of these instruments iconic. Period-inspired neck profiles with 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboards also contribute to the vintage feel, while vintage-style bridges, tremolos (on the Stratocaster and Jazzmaster models), and tuning machines provide highly dependable performance.
