http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitars/Electric_Guitars/Electric_Guitars/p7489.aspx It’s generally considered that Fender electric guitars get cooler with age, you’ll never find players such as John Mayer, Dave Gilmore or John Frusciante playing a brand spanking new strat or tele…older Fenders tend to wear in rather than wear out as they age, developing their own personality over the years of gigging, feeling more comfortable and looking cooler than when they were brand new.
Unfortunately, most of us don’t have the money to buy a real vintage guitar without selling a kidney, that’s why Fender have introduced the Road Worn series guitars. Using aging techniques based on the processes used on Fender’s Custom Shop Relic guitars, the Road Worn series offers more affordable, brilliantly pre-aged, realistic vintage aged instruments.
This guitar is the Fender Road Worn 60’s Stratocaster in 3-Tone Sunburst. Designed around the original 1960s specs, this Mexican made guitar features a pre-worn/beaten up finish on an alder body and maple neck, 3-ply aged scratchplate and vintage, pre-aged hardware. Classic Stratocaster tones are delivered from Fender’s hotter Tex-Mex pickups whilst the rosewood fingerboard features nice big modern 6105 style frets. The nitrocellulose finish will wear in unlike a polyester finish which just chips and is too hard to wear in. The Road Worn guitars will look even better with a couple of years playing in them and i must say the relic job is top notch, the wear is just right and look and feel even better in the flesh.
The Fender Road Worn 60’s Strat offers awesome classic looks and that sought after vintage feel whilst still delivering the performance expected from a modern guitar…without being too much of a strain on your wallet!

Dutch guitarband The Explosions from Rotterdam. Slideshow with vintage 60’s photos from the band and Rotterdam.
“Long Long Ago” was written in 1833 by English songwriter and dramatist, Thomas Haynes Bayly (1797-1839). In the Netherlands the song became known as child song “Roodborstje tikt tegen het raam” (robin taps against the window).
In memory of Ron de Valk († 12-08-2007) lead-guitarist of The Explosions. He created the special sound effects on his Hofner guitar and used an Dynacord echobox and Egmond amplifier.
Line-up: Ron de Valk (lead guitar, Hofner), Wim van Drie (rhythm guitar, Hofner), Gerard houthuizen (bass guitar, Hofner) and Ruud Grem (drums)

http://www.premierguitar.com PG’s Chris Burgess is On Location in Nashville, TN, for Summer NAMM ‘09 where he visits the Vintage (by Trev Wilkinson) booth. In this video segment, we get our first look at two styles of Vintage guitars coming to North America shortly — the V52 & V62 T-style guitars. These guitars feature appointments seen on the traditional Teles from the ’50s and ’60s but with some improvements. In addition, these guitars have been distressed and worn to match that of a guitar own and played for decades.
For more Summer NAMM coverage or to view our all things gear, be sure to visit http://www.premierguitar.com

Also the good ol’ ampeg V4, both cranked and about half volume. This Ibanez has huge low end! That’s a 65 Gibson Melody Maker standing by. I should mention that the guitar is downtuned to B standard
