Description

Edit description

Brad Paisley is known for his distinctive Telecaster sound, and now you can channel that same energy with the Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster. This signature model is a collaboration between Fender and the country guitar legend, featuring a unique tonewood construction that blends spruce and Paulownia, creating a lightweight yet resonant body. The guitar's design not only pays homage to classic aesthetics but also incorporates modern playability with a maple neck and a 9.5" fretboard radius, ensuring comfort and ease of bending for those expressive solos.

At the heart of the Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster are its custom-wound pickups. The bridge pickup, crafted to Brad's specifications, delivers the vintage-voiced spank and twang necessary for capturing his iconic sound. Complementing this is the Twisted Tele neck pickup, which offers a higher output with a hint of Stratocaster sparkle, providing a versatile tonal palette for any musician.

Adding to its charm, this Telecaster features Fender’s Road Worn relic treatment, giving it the look and feel of a well-loved instrument. The aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only enhances its vintage appearance but also allows the guitar to resonate freely, contributing to its dynamic tonal qualities. Whether you're a fan of Brad Paisley or simply seeking a high-quality, versatile Telecaster, this model promises to deliver both in style and performance.

Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Brad Paisley's Road Worn Telecaster is a striking blend of aesthetics and functionality, boasting sharp looks and stunning sounds that appeal to a wide range of guitarists. With its lightweight body made from sustainable woods, it's both eco-friendly and highly playable. However, the relic'ing may be unnecessary for some, and its flashy design might not suit everyone's taste. While the fat neck could be a challenge for those who prefer a slimmer profile, it ultimately delivers a versatile performance across genres. Overall, this collaboration showcases a well-thought-out instrument that balances style with serious playability, making it a worthy addition for any guitarist.

Fender's Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster in Silver Sparkle is a standout that challenges traditional aesthetics with its bold finish. While some may find the flashy look polarizing, the guitar impresses with its lightweight body and exceptional playability, thanks to a comfortable neck and responsive pickups. The vintage-inspired tones shine, especially in the bridge position, delivering classic Telecaster twang without harshness. However, its ostentatious design might not appeal to everyone. Ultimately, this guitar proves that fun and functionality can coexist, making it a worthy option for players looking to bring a bit of flair to their sound.

Best Fender neck ever!

Amazing guitar with wonderful neck profile (based Brad Paisley's 52' blackguard), soft-v .90 to .97. Pickups are topnotch. Because the Paulownia wood that guitar weight 5.5 lb, very resonant. Very comfortable guitar with amazing tone. I can ask nothing better. The weakness is its finish but who cares.

In this video, Brad Paisley discusses his signature Road Worn Telecaster model from Fender. He says:

This is based on a 63 Tele that I have that was refined into this color and I made a pick guard for it and the next thing you know, you guys at Fender said, “Oh, we'll make a bunch of these.”

Yeah, I was heavily involved. I mean, I picked everything from the wood that the body is made from to the pickup rating and tested a bunch of different things with Fender; neck size and shape.

I like that. There's something about bare wood on you, and that is that's actually just sanded down bare wood, which is what would happen after a while. And I got a little bit of nicks here and there, some dents. The neck is a light finish so you know how great necks look when they start to get the black goo from people's hands. See what your hand does right there? That's the way the neck looks. No matter what age you are, your hand does that. You know, your hand isn't a perfect C.

I don't think anybody ever feels like they've mastered their craft because the guitar is this limitless pallet of equations and paint that you can basically create anything you want. You know what feels the best about having a fender signature Telecaster, the thing that I'm proudest of about this? It's relatively inexpensive for the vast majority of young guitar players. You know, this isn't one of the ones when you walk in a music store that they're going to say, “Whoa don't touch that, these are sensitive instruments.” This isn't sensitive. It is a Telecaster. It's a cutting board with a neck! I can't wait to see what people do with this instrument.
