I am told, it has a bourbon vanilla ice cream taste to it.

Kinda kicks sand in a Citation's face for less than 1/2 the price.

Beautiful. I wish the initials on the tailpiece were mine.

-use a consistent design vocabulary - his archtop guitars have looked essentially the same for most of his career;
-are priced to be affordable, compared to those built by most of his peers;
-are offered to the market in a matter-of-fact manner, without the hyperbolic marketing mush that one often finds throughout the guitar industry.Last edited by Hammertone; 07-20-2022 at 12:40 PM.

Well said Hammer !

Mouthful!

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Mark currently has a 4 year wait list and is no longer taking orders.
I am 2 years away from my Cameo. In 4 years he will be 72.
Campellone, Monteleone, Borys, Triggs are all nearing the end of their great and long careers of fabulous archtop making.
40 years from now a Campellone will be worth a ton of money.

I guess I will just need to find one used.

I was very fortunate in that my good friend Vinnyv1k recommended the Campellone Guitars to me several
years ago, ( his word is his bond,) By looking on Mark;s Website was enough to order a Deluxe model. It was built
and shipped to the UK exactly as promised. The packing and unmarked outer boxing was superb. Similar to my friends
on JGF, I have been a lifelong Gibson devotee. My first ES 335 original 1959 served me very well for many years.
The Campellone Guitars are in a class of their own. If I could get my mitts on another, i'd have one tomorrow. I agree
too with the prediction that they will be very costly in the not so distant future
I repeat , good luck with your search, if successful you will overwhelmed by the quality.
