Members venusshore Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Bought a Fender Road Worn 50's Strat today from bestbuy It was a display unit. However, this display unit plays better than a new one, heavier, better v neck, sounds better as well IMO. Really like the sound. I know I may can find cheaper one on forum/ebay etc. however I may not find one with same sound. Most expensive guitar I ever bought until now!!!

Members Deadm1r Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've never understood the appeal of 'road-worn' guitars. What's the point of buying a guitar for a lot of money if you get it {censored}ed up already? Where's the fun in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not understand but some guys actually buy guitars looking for quality, playability and tone... while others go for looks, even if the guitar is a total POS... like... lets say... an Epi LP 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 HNGD! I'm going to be a little douche-like and say I'm one that doesn't particularly care for the finish, but I've tried a couple and they played well enough that the finish became quite a minor consideration.

Members venusshore Posted March 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Congrats Venusshore! Nice looking Strat! Very cool you got to try a few and picked the one you liked best. A lot of guys here don't care for the finish but even so, most agree they're terrific players! This is a NGD, so it's not cool to rain on the OP's parade. You may not understand but some guys actually buy guitars looking for quality, playability and tone... while others go for looks, even if the guitar is a total POS... like... lets say... an Epi LP 100 EXACTLY! Thanks for this. This is great tone in this price range IMO. one of the "better value" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I dig the guitar. I've played a couple of them that were truly amazing feeling.
