Fender Stories Collection Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster

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 catalogue. 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 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.
