Doesn't get any better than Guitars and Dogs...Mike Campbell is an American treasure and WAY under-appreciated ~

You are a great man for your dog rescue as well as your music, which is legendary.. What a legend!

Mike Campbell is a connoisseur of tones and has maybe the best ear in straight-ahead rock.

Mike played some classic licks and guitar parts that just fit like a glove for the songs he played on. A true SESSION player not a million note speed burner which to me is a true guitar artist!

Mike always seems to get lucky with "getting a real good guitar that day". His 12 string Rickenbacker (on the cover of Damn the Torpedoes) was the next one made after George Harrison's.

His singer wanted to play guitar, so he gave him the only one he had. That tells you pretty much all you need to know about what a decent guy Mike Campbell is.

Dave G Right... So refugees of war and/or the billions of starving families can help themselves, but dogs cannot. Therefore we should help the dogs. Most of the population of the world living in poverty are in their situation based on circumstances. Lets see how you view this topic when all of a sudden, you and your family become become a victim of circumstance, and become just one of the hundreds of millions of starving families in this world. Still want to help the dogs? Just to clarify, I would help dogs too, IF we could find a way to help humans first. Also, a lot of dogs can and DO help themselves. Look at Mexico. They form packs and roam around looking for scraps. We could help dogs by stopping puppy mills from pumping out ridiculous numbers of puppies. Thats how we can help dogs.

Dave G Umm.. Yes, I agree. (To the relevant point you made, not the assertion of my character - which may or may not be grounded, at least based on what you have read from me. I can see why you'd assume that.) But to the point on hand, your comment seemed to assume or at the very least imply, that I couldn't be bothered to help the needy - human or non-human alike. I have already stated that I would help dogs too, if only we could help people in need first. In other words, any reasonable person needs to prioritize if they are to attempt to make any type of broad difference in anything. You say humans can help themselves, and I agree. So why would we help dogs over the option of first helping other humans? Shouldn't we help our fellow man? Also, I wasn't just being an asshole when I stated a full-proof plan to help dogs. STOP MASS BREEDING THEM. We produce puppies like we produce Advil. People love puppies. But unfortunately, people don't love them once they become dogs. This is a Pre-school problem.

Nice guitar. Nice amp. Nice playing. Nice charity. Sometime it's nice to see the glass half full ... My very first guitar was a 1954 Stratocaster under the Christmas tree in 1963. Beat to hell, fretboard pitted, the nut had three chewing gum wrappers in different slots, ciggy burn on the headstock ... when you've been around a while and you've seen the originals with the real wear, you come to appreciate even the fake stuff ... there's a magic there that exists no where else.

nice to meet ya Mike..thanks for the interview.

Great video. So fun to see him admiring the details of the clone.

Fender Custom Shop does incredibly detailed work. Great video. RIP, Tom Petty.

‘Breakdown’ was the first track that introduced Tom Petty in the UK 1976 and as soon as I hear that riff I stop and listen.

I like that he can actually explain what the charity is where others just say "oh yea, it's a great cause",

One of the greatest of his generation! So underrated!

Such a great man to do so much to help the fur babies and such a great guitarist and just a all around great guy. I'm still feeling the loss of his brother in music and one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all times Tom Petty who gave so much of his own credit to you Mike Campbell. You truly are one of the best and with such a big heart of a man. Happy to hear that you will be with another great Heartbreaker Stevie Nick's in place of you know who and I know you will make that band sound great also. Thanks Fender for honoring Mike with this guitar, you guys are the best. ~~~ Ricky ~~~

Great guitarist. His work is everywhere. Most of the Don Henley solo albums have Mike Campbell all over them.

Nice guitar. Love the Broadcaster! I love Mike Campbell's playing.

Oh my God please bring these back. I want one so so so so so so so bad now. 😱

I don't care what anyone says, he is one of the best. GREAT!

Mike is one of the best ever and he also saves dogs? You gotta love that guy.

If it weren't clearly Mike Campbell playing that lick, there'd be some youtube know-it-all claiming he's playing the part wrong, and his tone is all wrong.

Nothing beats a butterscotch or blond tele with a maple neck. I have a simple MIM tele and love it. Classic and fits like a glove

LOL I was about to say the original looked like a rosewood fingerboard but that's the GUNK!

very nice playing at the end

Wow-well the first thing that struck me was how young Mike still looks...which got me to thinking how lucky we are to still have some of these legends around. There are so few left now from that era that I loved, and was so much a part of my youth. Started recording their 1st album in 1975 wow-thats the year I graduated from high school. Just a really cool interview and cool of Fender to remake his guitar so accurately and then give funds to help animals. I only wish I could afford one....although should I ever win the lotto, I would first get Fenders copy of Clapton's Brownie Strat- then I would get one of these custom shop heartbreaker Fenders. The real funny thing is i kept. thinking- wait a minute Fender did not copy Mike's original guitar because his original guitar has a rosewood neck- and the new one has a maple neck.....but then I looked again and realized his first guitars neck was also a maple neck but it was just dirty as hell....LOL thats why Mike said he would not let anyone wash it off. LMAO

I love his playing, I also love how his original guitar's fingerboard is so dirty that it looks like it has a rosewood board

Excellent Interview

any intintions on making a left handed version of the vintage modified mustang from squire?

Love those 2 Jaguars in the background!!

So Cool Thankyou. Mike Campbell, Your a Champion. Cheers

I can't help feeling that with most signature guitars, though they may be quite accurate repros, what it all boils down to is the player's touch.

To me, the string tree and decal placement say late 50's Tele neck - thoughts anyone?

What I find amazing about this level of talent and success is that there's so much time and effort spent into duplicating an instrument yet the actual musician and instrument owner seems like he could really care less.

I thought all those early Broadcasters had the narrow spaced 12 fret dot markers? On both his original and replica the neck has the wider 12 fret dot spacing. What you normally see on 53' and up Tele's. Might his be a partscaster?
