Campbell American Guitar
    "The concept behind Campbell American Guitars is simple: build guitars in America - using old New England craftsmanship; utilize sensible designs, top-shelf components; and always retain a commitment to quality, integrity and ingenuity. We believe the results of this philosophy speak for themselves."

    This new Custom Caledonian model would certainly tend to confirm the statement above ... with its great craftsmanship and excellent fret work ... what an absolute joy to play!  Plug this one in,  rev up your amp and put this through its paces ... everything from spanky clean to light crunch to over-the-top ... no problem.  Check out Mike McAvan's audio file to see what I mean.  Hey, with the locking Sperzels and friction free bridge,  this thing even stays in tune when you use the Bigsby! 
.
GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE: "Perhaps the greatest appeal of the Campbell clan is that each model is so damn fun to play. Their gentle,  C-profile necks promote oodles of gleeful fretboard gymnastics—a trait confirmed by the smiles of every GP editor who picked one up."

GUITAR ONE MAGAZINE: " If you're a working musician looking for a custom instrument that sounds and plays as good as any you'll hear, at a street price rivaling some off-the-rack models, you owe it to yourself to check out the full Campbell line."

PREMIER GUITAR MAGAZINE: “This is the second Campbell American model that I have reviewed, and like the previous one, this one manages to magically feel and sound like an old guitar. This is the main thing that breaks the company out of the custom builder crowd; somehow Campbell has figured out a way to make a new guitar have the broken-in feel, and aged sound of a 30 or 40-year-old vintage instrument."

Campbell American Precix

 
 
 
     I think GUITAR BUYER magazine said it best when they reviewed their Precix model from Campbell American Guitars "A good measure of a great guitar is if you really don't want to put it down. In the case of the Precix, I've ended up pouring away more cups of cold tea, and being late for more appointments over the weeks that it's been in my care, than just about the whole of last year. It's a really compelling instrument, that both plays extremely well and sounds simply remarkable. Most modern styles of music will be well served with it's collection of fine tones, but classic rock is where it really excels. Big, warm and expressive solos just drip from the Precix fingerboard, and raunchy rhythm patterns hammer out in the sweetest manner - and all with drool-worthy detail and depth..... and for a sensible price too. A future classic? We hope so."
