MusicRadar’s verdict:

"Vintage Fenders have to be among the most lusted after instruments for any guitar player. So these Mexican Relics with authentic looks, feel and vibe; balanced vintage-y tones and improved playability for a third of the price really are no-brainers. Take your pick…"

Your votes:

"Fender Road Worn ‘50s Stratocaster – sound, look, feel, authenticity, all amazing. Best $950 I have ever spent!” (From Blake via email, thanks)

“I can't explain how natural the guitar feels. I've never played a true vintage Strat so I can't compare but this guitar feels vintage and she sounds hot. I find myself ripping blues riffs and jamming out to tunes I grew up with. My guess is that with the hotter pickups, the five-way switching and the fact that I can play this guitar without fear of damaging an investment, make this a better guitar than the one it’s modelled after. Its appearance is so convincing that I find myself wondering how a specific chip or scratch came about as if were actually 40 something years old!” (Thanks, shupe13)

"I love the Road Worn Series because they look cool as hell and they play amazingly for Mexican-made models. Get one!" (Thanks, Steve)
