Provenance

Why this one made the wall

Excellent condition, all original, with no repairs and no modifications. The checking, dings and hardware patina are Fender's Heirloom aging, done at the factory to match Mike's original. Comes with a hardshell case and the original case candy. 8 lb 14 oz.

The Stories Collection Red Dog is Fender's recreation of the 1972 Telecaster Mike Campbell bought from a former guitar student in Florida, Bigsby and onboard boost already fitted. It's the guitar on "Refugee" from Damn the Torpedoes.

Three pickups where a Tele usually has two: a Red Dog Telecaster single-coil at the bridge and Red Dog humbuckers in the middle and neck, on a 5-way blade. The "Destruct" button switches in a boost circuit with 34dB of gain, built for pushing the front of an amp into saturated leads. The Heirloom nitro finish in Red Dog Red is aged to match the faded Candy Apple Red of the original.

The neck is one-piece maple in an early '70s "C", slim at the first fret and fuller by the 12th, with a 7.25" radius and 21 vintage frets.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses our bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Our tech's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.
