Limited Edition Masterbuilt Mike Campbell 1972 “Red Dog” Telecaster - Only 75 Made
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. Instantaly collectible, this very special guitar is now available for pre-order.
This is a one-time run that the Custom Shop is offering only to select Showcase dealers. Each can only obtain one - which Truetone jumped on right away, so we're near the top of the list to get one of the first built. This super collectible guitar is now available for pre-order and will start shipping in the 3rd quarter of this year, continuing through next year. Up to 75 will be built for the whole world, and once they are gone, that will be it - this will not be repeated.
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, and two American Vintage '65 string trees with nylon spacers.
The guitar comes with a custom deluxe hardshell case, Custom Shop strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
We will only be getting one, and once it's spoken for, that's it! Contact Truetone Music today to secure this highly collectible, special guitar.
