Mike Campbell Showcases his Fender Custom Shop Heartbreaker | Fender

- In this exclusive Fender interview, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell showcases his new Limited Edition Fender Custom Shop Heartbreaker, cloned after his longtime Fender Broadcaster.
"With a blindfold test I might not be able to tell the difference - that’s how close it is," said Campbell.
Led by Master Builder Dale Wilson, the Fender Custom Shop Dream Team worked exhaustively to clone Campbell's original Broadcaster. From the nail scratch on the front of the lower horn to the soldering iron burn near the output jack and the chipped nut, the new signature model is visually and sonically comparable to Campbell’s beloved companion.

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!
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.
Also how close he was to Tom.
lol, he's a guitarist...it was a really convenient excuse to add another to the herd!
we're a bit hopeless like that. 😉
@@superflea7219 did you see this?
Gh = (Gn + 1)
How many guitars do you need?
Guitars you have now, plus one, lol.
I'm sure he's a decent guy, but no working guitarist gives up his only guitar unless he knows he can get another immediately.
@@sillysausage4549 Well yea he did and yea he did 👍
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.
One of favorite players. Had a 50’s Telecaster let it slip through my hands - Mike is amazing to see in concert
Must be so cool and surreal to have your #1 remade to the last hairline scratch like that. What an honor! Incredible tone/player
IMHO....the most under rated guitarist in the world
John Stromberg He is ranked in the top 100 Rolling Stone guitar player ranking. Every guitar player I know says he is great. He worked for Dylan, Cocker etc. I know, what you want to say - but he is not underrated. Absolutely not
John stromberg, in your, HO "the most under rated guitarist in the world. Now that's a very opinionated point of view y got there lad, and seeing as how everyone who's ever heard him rates him, it seems to me, you talk such rot.
C'mon that rolling stone top 100 is just all subjective
I mean c'mon, Buck Dharma from Boc didn't even make it...
I get so tired of this comment on every guitar player video. I know of nobody in the world who doesn't have the utmost respect for Mike Campbell and his ability to play. He is one of the best and everyone who loves rock and roll knows it.
Underrated by who? He’s Mike freakn Campbell
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.
Clone? But the original looks like it has a rosewood fretboard...
“SO THATS ALL MY GRIME OVER 40 YEARS”
Yeah, I think it's disgusting that he won't let his tech clean any of his guitars. I kind of want to vomit a little. Love him, but gross.
@@THEQueeferSutherland adds....tone
That's just tone grime.
@@hellodrjeckyl to get a grimy tone.
One of the most under rated guitarists in history, I hope he gets a blues band together and tours.
Cool guitar, cool player, even COOLER that Mr. Campbell and Fender are supporting a dog rescue fund. That is awesome. Thank you!!!!
Yeah, forget about the billion starving people. Let's start a dog fund. Forgot about that part, haha.
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 It's a good thing there are people like us to help dogs. :)
Kenny Carlile Self-congratulatory statements make most people sick for a good reason, you know.
It's a good thing there are people like me that keep people like you in check. :)
See what I did there? Wasn't it outright disgusting? Please say yes...
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.
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 ~~~
Hearing that they are helping dogs made my heart Warm!!!
Fender Custom Shop does incredibly detailed work. Great video.
RIP, Tom Petty.
Great guitarist. His work is everywhere. Most of the Don Henley solo albums have Mike Campbell all over them.
I like that he can actually explain what the charity is where others just say "oh yea, it's a great cause",
Great video. So fun to see him admiring the details of the clone.
nice to meet ya Mike..thanks for the interview.
Nice guitar. Love the Broadcaster! I love Mike Campbell's playing.
Love,admire and cherish him before he is gone
That ain't no joke.
One of the greatest of his generation! So underrated!
Oh my God please bring these back. I want one so so so so so so so bad now. 😱
I love listening these stories!
Mike is one of the best ever and he also saves dogs? You gotta love that guy.
Bless you Mike for saving Dog's lives, what a Great Man
‘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.
It truly is amazing that you can get the perfect guitar on a certain day! It really is special and cannot be replicated!
+George Robinson True!!!!!!! That!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!
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.
vintagekory there's always that guy lol
Actually I just tuned down a semitone (I hate that!) for some YT guy who claimed to be teaching a Roger McGuinn riff then found he used some bum chord. ;-)
He was and it was...
...just kidding.
You’re so right.
what song is it from?
Are you serious???
Breakdown
Utterly delightful and would have been even without the additional fantastic fact that this helps saves dogs. Top notch all round.
Love those kind of Fenders - they sound great, look great, and I bet they play great too.
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
I don't care what anyone says, he is one of the best. GREAT!
What a great guy, guitar player, guitar, and cause. Using the money to save dogs. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are one of America's greatest bands. I sure wish Mike Campbell would run for president, I would vote for him.
+VonBluesman if he did, you'd have had your heart broken as he would have had to leave the Heartbreakers for a full time political career.. you wouldn't want him to end up like Jeff Skunk Baxter or Arnold Swartznegger or President Ronald Reagan or Sonny Bono.. would you?
+WhatMeWorry? Baxter is a consultant to the Defense Dept and doesn't have to work but you have to do something!
Robert A yea i know what he does its still working for the government.. he spends a lot of time there than he does working in his music career and being a consultant is a job.. A paid job! he wouldn't be slacking around getting paid for nothing
I think a lot of entertainers work for the govt. on the sly to steer public opinion; Beyonce for OBama, Fleetwood Mack for Bill Clinton....
+Robert A your line of reasoning is BS.. So what if they use entertainers to sway the public to vote them for president.. theres no crime in that and also theres nothing "sly" about that either.. You make it sound like its a violation of the criminal justice system or something. Beyonce Fleetwood Mac and many others were just paid entertainers for their parties.. thats NOT what you call "working for the government" like Baxter, Swartznegger, Reagan or Bono were .Those guys actually worked with the government as politicians and consultants not as entertainers... and oh by the way, Its Mac not Mack 😂
I've never seen strings with that much bounce when played. must be set up amazing!!
Love the Blue Stingrays!
Very Cool Mike, and a great cause for the dogs.!!!! Rock On.
Very under rated guitarist
Wow! That original broadcaster looks like it has a rosewood fretboard but really it's really maple with tons of dirt and grime on it. Awesome!
very nice playing at the end
☮️You are a Guitar God to me.🎸 You influenced me to play.☮️
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
My favorite guitarist ever! I hope his music didn't pass away with Tom Petty.
Love you for you and wifey's dog save! Luv the Tele!!!!!!!!
Luv you with the Vox AC 30 sound in the Heartbreakers!!!!!!!
Excellent Interview
Great player is Mr Campbell (underappreciated) and band are the Heartbreakers. Sweet guit. However I personally think relicing is goofy. I would take a reliced guit for free though:-)
+Bodyknowledge 77 Wouldn't be a clone of his guitar, then.
Iago B Then I'll add that I don't care for clone/replica guitars. Signature models are cool. However if its gonna be dinged up I'm going to it!
+Iago B Not exactly. Technically, cloning refers to living things, but we apply it broadly. "Replica", which means an exact copy or reproduction, is really the correct word.
+Bodyknowledge 77 This whole relic thing,is the most stupid trend on guitars,ever.It's like buying a brand new car and ask the factory to scratch up the paint,smash the windshield and put in some dangs on the hood,for good measure.It doesn't give your guitar ''character'' or any other BS,some people claim,it just makes a new guitar look like shit.
+greekfreak1980 You have never heard of un restored classic
LOL I was about to say the original looked like a rosewood fingerboard but that's the GUNK!
Love those 2 Jaguars in the background!!
I would expect nothing less from you mike!! Great, I'm an Dog lover big time. thanks Man!
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
for those who dont know this guys abillity, listen to running down a dream the end solo its epic the version i like is on here it has an animated blk wht video with it anyway check it out.
Yeah man it's one of rocks greatest solos!!
"I found a Broadcaster, think it was $600.00..." Fuck my life...
That's almost 3 grand in today's money
@@toutou6308
Right, in 1975 if you made $300 bucks a week, you were doing well.
So Cool Thankyou. Mike Campbell, Your a Champion. Cheers
any intintions on making a left handed version of the vintage modified mustang from squire?
Such an awesome guitar!
Mike , your a great player and your cause is very noble . I'll checkout the guitar . I already 3 Tele's . But what's one more ?
Look at all his guitar n amps....damn
Damn the Torpedoes is one the greatest unrecognized albums of all time. It was so influential in my growing up. I wore that tape and LP out.
Love that tele. Like the maple neck
Mike’s so fucking cool. Love that guy.
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.
Amazing guitar for an amazing cause
awesome classic fender telle
It's about time!Woof!!
A man who dedicates time and money to animal rescue... my kinda guy. Good on ya mate. Saving dogs and giving them homes is awesome.
I have the 2020 model by squire I got for 200 bucks same butterscotch color and black pick guard, I love it
great man, yummi guit:-)...i like it very much!
Beautiful Tele🎸
all super cool need more plse
great musician + dog lover = AWESOME
This dude is pure cool ✌
such a cool dude...and a great guitar!
To me, the string tree and decal placement say late 50's Tele neck - thoughts anyone?
Mike, um grande abraço e nem sei o que dizer, pois, amo Tom Petty e gosto demais da parceria que se estabeleceu entre vocês,, Seu parceiro e amigo que foi diretamente e sem escala para o céu. Esperamos pela continuação do seu brilhante trabalho, inspirado também emTom Petty, mas, com sua inconfundível personalidade, Mike, grande músico!
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.
Gotta love the hat , I need one
I got to play one of these a few months ago. Easily the best guitar I've ever played.
Finally a signature model produced for a good cause - think of the puppies!
Class Act for sure.
Never understood the appeal of buying a pre-'stressed' guitar; total enigma to me. I love that he works to save animal's lives though.
Sam Roney
Yeah, I can't relate. Buying new jeans that are already frayed and torn is the other thing that has always confounded me. Just doesn't compute. Thanks though.
mano a mano I can understand copying the electronics. But you have to earn the wear through playing it!
I’m bit ol school, but have to say I little bit get it with the neck, tell you they are pretty close to real ones from 50’s 60’s with that super buttery feel
Same reason people buy new furniture that already looks rustic or aged, because it’s cool and chicks dig it.
Nice guitar with a nice story.
Can anyone explain the string tree and decal placement? Doesn't look right for a Broadcaster.
We love you Mike
That's a really cool guitar.
Very cool. I would be honored to own one.
Wow, Mike and Tom had been friends for so long, they even sound similar.
Yeah, localized accents are funny like that.
@@smelltheglove2038 both Florida boys, yeah?
@@Labyrinth1010 yup
Mike that is so cool I'd love to have one how much are they
The only time im gonna buy one of them Mike is if i can play it like you! lol
Cool guitar, cool player . . cooler hat . . .
I don’t know the guy but,, if he’s doing what he’s doing for dogs , he’s a great bloke in my book 😉
What happens after you play that thing for another 20 years? Personally im gonna put alot of wear on the guitar if it sounds good anyway. Im not sure id buy it. Does anyone know the price?
Very cool guitar and he seems like a good guy (with a fantastic internal metronome).
A question for you Tom Petty fans: which album would you recommend I get to jump into Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? I hear so much about them but only really know their huge 80s hits. And is there an early live album that's killer?
Thanks in advance.
The Last DJ. and after that? It pretty much depends on your taste in music, as they ranged so well in what they put together on albums.
" Baked" i think is the correct term. But I'm the last one to try to be....petty.
Haha. Mike Campbell is awesome.
I like that we still have got HUMANS on this planet.
Tom & Mike's talking voices are just alike.
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?
Decal and string tree are wrong too, as are the ferrules on the back (too straight).
Yup, probably a mid 50's Tele with a Broadcaster decal on it. I have seen photos of the bridge PU and it has staggered pole pieces, not a Broadcaster.
That is awesome
check out the vibratone cab! reissue please!
God Bless you for the Dog foundation
