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.
