The epitome of a workhorse guitar, the Heartbreaker faithfully reproduces the beloved instrument that powers Campbell’s economically tasteful guitar playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original Heartbreaker was examined, reverse-engineered and documented in exhaustive detail by Master Builder Dale Wilson to create this phenomenal reproduction.  This guitar is nearly indistinguishable from the original; the sound, feel and the patina of 40 years of loving use is all there for you to experience. From the nail scratch on the front of the lower horn to the soldering iron burn near the output jack and the chipped nut, this guitar is visually and sonically comparable to Campbell's trusty companion. As he said, \"With a blindfold test I might not be able to tell the difference—that's how close it is.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOnly 40 of these were made, of which only 20 or 25 were for North America.  This was in 2015, and since then, very few have hit the open market.  This one has been in the possession of a single owner since then, until he decided to part with it.  We were thrilled to see it walk in the door - and have a feeling it won't be long till it goes back out the door.  Anything by Dale Wilson goes quick, especially considering orders for his builds currently have a 4 - 5 year ETA.  Not only that, this is a rare, highly collectible piece....that is also an amazing playing and sound guitar!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body’s thin natural lacquer finish allows the instrument’s natural voice to shine through unhindered while a pair of hand wound Custom Shop pickups customized for Campbell generates the rich, warm authentic Fender tone you’ve heard on the many hits he’s cranked out with his Heartbreaker.  It has an ash body, with the grain showing through the Blonde finish. The back of the flame maple neck is finish-free for an unparalleled smooth playing feel, reflecting the hours Campbell has spent caressing the neck while performing with The Heartbreakers.  It's vintage spec all the way through, just as a it should be, recreating the original guitar that Campbell score for just $600 back in the 70's when recording the first album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis historic collectible is extremely hard to come by.  Very rarely does one become available, so run down a dream while you can.  Come to Club Fender @ Truetone Music to experience it for yourself, or order it right here to be shipped straight to your home.\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAbout the Masterbuilder:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003eDale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a driving passion for the California native since childhood. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved guitars,” he said. “I didn’t dream of being a rock star; I dreamed of building the ultimate guitar. I was equally enthralled with the guitars just as much as I was with the players.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoodworking runs in the Wilson family, and the requisite Custom Shop zeal for outstanding craftsmanship has long been part of Dale’s DNA. He did repair work and mods in a small guitar shop right out of high school in the late 1980s; subsequently moving on to stints at Dobro and Rickenbacker before arriving at Fender, where he worked on Guild, Gretsch and Benedetto guitars before beginning his apprenticeship with various Custom Shop Master Builders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe enjoys calling upon his extensive and varied experience as a craftsman to create highly distinctive guitars such as the Resophonic Thinline Telecaster®. Wilson also built five beautiful custom guitars for the January 2011 NAMM Show while still an apprentice and was asked to sign the back of the headstocks, garnering him his Master Builder status.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R14610\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # 9215000155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.7 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Nocaster Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Select Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Flame Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Custom C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Custom Wound Vintage-Style Single-Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1: Neck Pickup, Position 2: Neck and Bridge Pickup, Position 3: Bridge Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 3-Saddle Vintage-Style Strings-Through-Body Tele with Brass Barrel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Case, Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice is FIRM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42518696132851,"sku":"80FEN101","price":9999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF9502.jpg?v=1647990632","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/pre-owned-2015-fender-limited-edition-mike-campbell-heartbreaker-masterbuilt-broadcaster-electric-guitar","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
