Modern durability and build quality meets a broken-in look and feel in the Fender Road Worn ‘50s Precision Bass. Honoring the style and specs of the instrument’s 1950s debut, this P Bass may be brand new but the Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish makes it look not a day under 60. The maple neck features a 7.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets for the same feel and playability, and the vintage-style hardware set looks just like the original.
About Fender Road Worn Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Those of us who love vintage understand the beauty of history and the instruments that bear theirs with pride. All the licks, lumps, and luster of time are boldly brandished as a catalog of a life hard-lived and shows hard-played. The Fender Road Worn Series honors these guitars with lovingly reliced models representing iconic decades in Fender’s history.
