“The humbuckers give it so much power and such a wide variety of tones while the destruct button really sets it apart from just about any other Tele”: Fender unveils the Mike Campbell “Red Dog” Telecaster

Mike Campbell pictured with his new Red Dog Fender Telecaster; the heavily customised electric guitar has a Bigsby, a Destruct button and a pickup configuration that gives you lots of options. Campbell wears shades and a wide-brimmed hat.

Fender and Mike Campbell have teamed up for a replica of his heavily modded 1972 Telecaster, and you might have seen a million Teles in your life but there is only really one like this.

The Mike Campbell Red Dog Telecaster is being offered in two editions, one a $20,000 Masterbuilt electric guitar, hot out of the Fender Custom Shop, the other fresh out of Corona, California with a serious but not that serious $3,499 price tag.
