Nick,
We know what we love. Thank God we have someone to build it.
For me the Wesmo model is the perfect guitar with minor tweaks.
17x3x25x1-11/16 fits me like a tailored glove.
Looking forward to your next build Sir.

Best guitar value out there
new or used
period
im always shopping for another Special
-
I must add that the pic above of Vinny's Blonde Special is superb, it has simplicity
and elegance in spades, Imo the essence of a beautiful instrument, ,my own Deluxe
is also a delight to behold and the temptation to acquire a Campellone, Special
is almost overwhelming , I must not procrastinate. Time is not on my side.

Back before my inheritance when I was in Jersey there was a petite sized Campellone that was specially made for Steve Miller
Gryphon Had the guitar on their site it has remarkable custom features it had a pick up amount to pick up more down where a Joe Pass pick up would be.
it was built to commemorate 9/11 I had a gorgeous inlay on the headstock that was the skyline in Manhattan and underneath that was a similar colored material that represented the reflection of the skyline on the Hudson it had a rose inlay on the back of the headstock and a rose inlay on the wood tail piece
I loved that guitar so much I had Mr. Wu build me a 17 inch version of that But with a floating pick up - Of course the Mr. Wu is nothing like a real Campellone as I’ve learned
Ha Hah Hah Hah Hah
If I ever saw that Manhattan Skyline again I’d grab it in a heartbeat
My office lost four clients in the towers I never forgot how my big board at work look so strange with those four red icon staring in the face representing those four clients being downLast edited by Crm114; 05-19-2021 at 09:46 PM.

Something about a diamond inside of a rectangle(gap between two frets). And the classy headstock design. And the great wood picked out. And the bursts done. I'm sure the guitars sound as gorgeous as they look.

I went to the Culinary Institute of America and worked in some of the best French restaurants in Manhattan in the 1990’s. I was part of a team that helped re-open Windows of the World Restaurant on the 107th floor of World Trade Center. The re-opening took place between the first car bomb attack and the second airplane attack. I had moved on and was no longer there the day of 9 11.
So many were affected that day.
So many were horrifically killed that day.
So many were forever changed that day.
Love and Prayers to all our family, friends, coworkers & neighbors..
Never Forgotten

I’ll give it all back if I could have my parents bac
you still got your parents ??
I’ll give it all up to be able to talk to my mom or my dad
I think it’s James Brown said money don’t change you
unfortunately money changes the people around you. I’ve learned the hard way over and over these last five years all of a sudden everybody thinks you owe them something “oh come on man you’ve got the money”
Yes they say on TV man
“don’t try this at home”

For the beer judges of the forum. When Mark Campellone makes a batch of guitars you pour over them and first smell the guitar. Then you get in your hands and feel the puppy as your hand sides down the neck. Your eyes see a wonder of flame and burst or blond--- gorgeous. Finally as a musician you ears hear the magic and the next thing you know...........damn this batch of brew is incredible we have to make sure and keep brewing this stuff..........because in the end it is a Legendary Guitar. Tasty stuff!

That’s funny it’s spoken as reverently as people used to describe approaching Patrick’s unity you don’t just walk in the room you turn the lights down maybe like a couple of candles put on some Bolero on the stereo and then you quietly enter

I had a long talk with 2Boday and we talked about things that used to beYou know used to be that you could get a nice Gibson or Heritage on the used market for a decent price - well shit they’re not the same companies anymore and those days are over probably the best set up we saw was when Chicago Music Exchange Had the big sale. Same things going to happen to Mark eventually he’s going to start making guitars there won’t be any more coming out and then they’re only be a finite number of them and when they come up on the used market the prices are going to go up the same way that the Gibson guitars and Heritage guitars have gone up in the last year or so
I got a lot of gear and I love a lot of the guitars that Herotagr made some of the best I have are the Heritages and yeah I like my Gibsons too of course
but I think Mark Campellone‘s guitars are some of the best that I have and ever well have PERIOD

Remember me talking About that Manhattan Skyline Gryphon had on consignment - a star owned guitar made by Mark Campellone custom ordered by Steve Miller was selling for $3750.
Yeah like I said used to be

I had occasion to speak to Mark yesterday afternoon and he had just finished spraying the bursts. He said he was really wiped out from that. But then considering his incredible bursts I’m sure they are really inspired work.

I opened a savings account this morning just for my M. Campellone guitar. Mark told me it will be around 2 years from this past April. So I figure, the more I can save, the more options I can have!
A few bad notes or a missed chord
