看看国外网友试用roadworn的测评:
Played 3 New Road Worns tonight at Cintioli's in Philly. Its a hit!
Amps used: Marshall 18watt handwired with matching 2061x cab
Fender Super Sonic 112 Combo
Fender Texas Red Blues Jr Combo
Guitars Compared with
58' Masterbuilt strat
69' Custom shop strat
50's Custom shop tele
Black 50's Strat, Medium V Shaped maple neck, exceptional fretwork, medium sized frets, well crowned and level. Overall feel was great, action was very decent for an out of the box guitar. Started off playing into a Marshall 18watt handwired with the matching 2x12 cab,nothing but shimmering tone in all 5 pickup positions. The neck pickup produced a nice beefy sound but remaind spanky and responsive , position 2 \| which most lower priced strats seem to really fail at was great on the Roadworn.. After about 20 minutes of the marshall it was time to try the highgain setup so I plugged into a Fender Supersonic 1x12 combo, the stock pickups really have me shocked, aside from having every nuance of classic strat sound the attack dynamics were solid as a rock, tone controls were a bit usless, I would have gone with a different pot maybe, seemed to be either on or off with not too much inbetween, The nut needed some fine tweaking but other then that, the 50's strat for $600 is a total bargin, its a contender with relics triple the price, has the look & Feel down.
60's Strat in 3 tone sunburst- My favorite out of the 3-
Neck shape was a perfect 60's Medium/Fat C Similar to the new Eric Johnson strat., Fretwork was the best out of the 3 roadworns, nut didn't need any tweaking either. Tonally
Bridge is hot and punchy, Mid pos wasn't as good as the 50's but the half positions made up the difference, by far the best sound was the neck pickup into a Blues Jr with some extra reverb, Did an A/B Comparison against a masterbuilt 58' strat- Was pretty tough to accept the $600 strat sounding just as good as the $5000 strat. Finish on the neck was exellent, all though it was relic'd it played easy and the relicing didnt get in the way. Also Compared against a 69' relic it held its ground, the 69' Tremolo felt a tad better and it was setup just a hair better on the action/intonation side.
50's Tele 3 tone burst- BIG BIG Neck, Its a club, Massive C shape, think 58' Les paul big. Big frets, Chikin pickin was real easy, again with the amazement that a mexican fender didn't need a setup out of the box, good fretwork. Tuners weren't holding at first but snugged up after a while. Sounded best into the Super sonic with some verb, but for rythm- plugged into the 18watt marshall it had that classic bite and punch.. Pickups again- solid- Bridge Position rocked great and the neck/bridge at once had a good response to pick attack. Compared against another relic tele, Triple the price and the Road worn was just as nice. Compared against a 50's custom shop tele, Sound was completely different, Feel was about the same, quality of build was almost par with the CS Relic- the biggest difference was the extent of relicing, CS tele was beat a bit too much..
Conclusion: Fender really has stepped up on the quality side, most of the mexican fenders over the last decade have been either really GOOD or really bad, Fender finally has their equasion nailed!! Go check these out! totally outragous. Keep in mind these are Relic'd to a certain extent, its not like some of the heavy relics, they tastefully did these, they're not overdone in anyway.. No hard cases but heck for the money I don't think it can be beat.. |
