Fender Stories Collection Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster (USA, MN) - red dog red

The Fender Stories collection honors legendary musicians by recreating the iconic instruments with which they are inextricably linked. Mike Campbell is known for creating numerous riffs, sublime rhythms and solos inspired by the repertoire of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Campbell acquired the original "Red Dog Telecaster" from one of his former students. Dated 1972, it was customized with a Bigsby vibrato and a boost circuit called "Destruct".
This guitar can be heard on the track "Refugee" from the album "Damn the Torpedoes" and seen in the song's video. The FENDER Stories Collection Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster (0117472725) is a fundamentally vintage model in the brand's 70's period, with an Alder body, solid Maple neck and fingerboard set with 21 frets (70s C profile, 7.25" radius). A Bigsby B5F vibrato and Heirloom nitro-cellulose varnish complete the Red Dog's old-school features, while its trio of Fender Mike Campbell Red Dog pickups (one single-coil and two humbucking pickups) and Destruct boost circuit with +34 dB of gain (dedicated switch) give this model a sonic flexibility that's absolutely unusual for a Telecaster.
