MUSIC NEWS - Fender announces the Road Worn Competition, a USA band competition for musicians, and the dealers who support them, to submit their music for a opportunity to win a prize package worth more than $50,000. From January 15 through May 25, bands across the US are invited to submit their music at Get Road Worn for a chance to win a road-ready prize package that features a fully customized Fender Road Worn 2008 Toyota Tundra with matching trailer (customized by Studio Number One and Obey Giant) full of Fender Road Worn series instruments, Fender electric guitar and bass amplification, a Gretsch® drumset, and a fuel allowance of $1,500. And for music fans, there's a separate contest for you !
And, participating Fender dealers will host “casting calls” throughout the competition period to provide bands with more opportunities to showcase their talents and create more excitement in and around their stores. The competition coincides with the release of Fender’s brand new Road Worn Series, a line of guitars and basses that come with a head start on history and bring the player the best of both worlds—a killer aged design aesthetic that conjures up past music lives, paired with the modern functionality, playability and high quality.
Based on classic Fender instruments of the 1950s and ’60s, and production methods invented at the world-renowned Fender Custom Shop, Road Worn instruments reflect the quality of life on the road. The series consists of ’50s Tele®, ’50s Strat®, ’60s Strat, ’50s Precision Bass® and ’60s Jazz Bass® guitars.
We could use a new truck, trailer and gear.
