Fender is releasing the new ’59 Jim Campilongo Top-Loader Telecaster this month. This guitar is a faithful reproduction of Jim’s well-worn ’59 Tele. According to many interviews I’ve read, Jim really prefers the top-loader bridge as compared to the string-through design.
I personally love Jim’s playing and I complately think he deserves a signature model. If you know of him then I’m sure you will agree. If you don’t know him then you should get over to Youtube and check him out. He has a very unique style and incorporates a lot of feeling in his playing. One of the few players that gets so many different sounds and tonal shades from just a Telecaster and A princeton Reverb Amp.
After you discover what a brilliant guitar player Jim is then head over to his website and buy some of his albums. He has a new release coming out this month called “Orange”. Click here to visit Jim Campliongo’s website.
