About Fender Mike Campbell Tele

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" radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets and 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.

Heirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish and Hardware
The Red Dog Red Heirloom lacquer finish replicates the faded Candy Apple Red on Mike's original guitar along with checking and dings on the body, a comfortable, smooth finish on the neck, and patina and wear on the hardware to emulate Red Dog's broken-in look and feel.

1-Piece, Early '70s "C"-Shaped Maple Neck, 7.25"-Radius Fingerboard and 21 Vintage-Style Frets
The maple neck is snappy and responsive and the early '70s "C"-shaped profile feels slim at the first fret and chunky at the 12th. The neck shape combined with the vintage radius and frets delivers a classic Fender playing experience and a taste of what it's like to play Mike's original guitar.

Onboard Switchable "Destruct" Boost Circuit
With 34dB of gain, this "dirty" boost circuit is perfect for overdriving the input of your amp and creating searing, saturated lead tones.

Custom Mike Campbell Red Dog Pickup Set
Voiced to replicate the single-coil and humbucking pickups in Mike's original, this custom set delivers a broad range of gutsy vintage-style tones.

Bigsby B5F Bridge and Tailpiece
The Bigsby vibrato has smooth action-perfect for subtle vibrato-along with a slick, classic aesthetic that adds style and flash to the guitar.

Custom Case, Neck Plate and Case Candy
Custom extras include an embroidered case and stamped neck plate, both featuring Red Dog artwork, picks, strap, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
