FENDER Custom Shop Limited Edition Masterbuilt Mike Campbell 1972 “Red Dog” Telecaster, Faded Aged Candy Cola ( 1 of 75 Worldwide)

Limited Edition Masterbuilt Mike Campbell 1972 “Red Dog” Telecaster (1 of 75 Worldwide):

With raw, powerful riffs and explosive leads, Mike Campbell firmly established himself as one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters in music history—and throughout his accomplished career, Fender guitars played in integral role in his creative expression. One of his most noteworthy instruments was his modified three-pickup Telecaster® that would come to be known as the “Red Dog.”

Fender Custom Shop Senior Masterbuilder Dennis Galuszka partnered with Mike to recreate this incredible guitar. From beautifully faded red metallic finish to the worn and Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece, every nick, ding and scratch was meticulously replicated to bring this tribute guitar to life.

Loaded with vintage replica Arcane, Inc. pickups and a “Destruct” boost circuit wired by Analogman, this early-‘70s Tele® plays, sounds and feels just like the guitar heard on “Refugee.” Its two-piece select alder body and custom-shaped, one-piece maple neck feature a well-loved Relic® lacquer finish, while the hardware is aged to look like it’s been played for the last five decades.

Wonderfully unique and with a storied past, the Limited Edition Masterbuilt Mike Campbell 1972 “Red Dog” Telecaster® is a fitting homage to such and incredibly captivating and inspiring musician.

Other premium features include flat sawn maple neck with custom Oval “C” back-shape, 7.25″ (184.1 mm) radius, 21 vintage upgrade (45085) frets, 5-way switch, 3-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style Jazzmaster® bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style “F”-stamped tuning machines, bone nut, two American Vintage ’65 string trees with nylon spacers, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
