We've been patiently waiting to see if Fender would release new relic'd Road Worn electric guitar models that didn't cost Custom Shop prices and now they've lifted the lid on a slew of Mexican-made Vintera additions that celebrate classic Fender history in finishes and spec.

There's limited edition '50s and '60s Strats and Teles, plus a '70s Deluxe Tele model shipping from 10 September with prices at £1,099 for each model. 

Let's take a look…
