Fender Stories Collection Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster Guitar, Maple Fingerboard (Red Dog Red)

The Fender Stories Collection pays tribute to legendary musicians, their beloved modified Fender electric guitars, and the extraordinary music they created together.

Revered for his tasty rhythms and fiery leads, Mike Campbell is responsible for many of the iconic hooks from the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers catalog. For decades now his faithful Fender guitars have been at the heart of his trusted formula for award-winning tone. 

Campbell bought what became known as the Red Dog from a former guitar student in Florida, complete with Bigsby tremolo and a powerful onboard boost, known as the Destruct circuit. Featured on the Damn the Torpedoes track Refugee, Mike’s iconic 1972 Red Dog Telecaster fabricated the memorable tune and can be seen in the accompanying music video.

The Stories Collection Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster features an Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer Red Dog Red finish, 1-piece maple neck with 7.25 inch radius fingerboard and 21 vintage-style frets as well as an onboard Destruct boost circuit. The custom Mike Campbell Red Dog pickup set features two vintage-style humbuckers and a single-coil telecaster bridge pickup, Bigsby B5F tremolo, and a custom Red Dog neck plate. Custom accessories include a vintage-style case, strap, picks, and certificate of authenticity.

Unique, versatile, and utterly original, the Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster pays tribute to a veteran Heartbreaker with a serious knack for writing extraordinary songs and delivering catchy, captivating, and magnificent guitar parts.
