Pay Homage to Punk Rock Icon Joe Strummer

Fender celebrates the life and music of a true punk rock icon with the Joe Strummer Campfire acoustic-electric guitar. At the helm of one of the most influential politico-punk bands of all time, Joe Strummer and the Clash spread their own brand of "Revolution Rock," a sentiment that continues to reverberate 40 years after the release of their seminal classic, London Calling. Finished in an eye-catching satin black highlighted with aged-white binding, the Joe Strummer Campfire acoustic-electric guitar is inspired by the guitar Strummer used during the fabled campfires he held at the Glastonbury Festival. Joe Strummer served as the Clash's creative energy — don't miss your chance to channel his revolutionary spirit through this tribute acoustic-electric guitar.

Legendary "C"-shaped neck

The Fender neck has become legendary among guitarists of nearly all genres. The Joe Strummer Campfire Acoustic-electric carries the torch for that legendary feel with an incredibly comfortable slim-taper, "C"-shaped profile — a much-preferred design here at Sweetwater. This cut is ultra-friendly on the fret hand, letting you slide up and down the neck for leads and chords in all positions. This incredible neck is complemented visually with star inlays and a matching headstock with vintage-style tuners bearing Strummer’s signature.

Stellar amplified tone

The Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system in the Joe Strummer Campfire acoustic-electric comes complete with an easy-to-read digital tuner that makes tuning onstage super easy. This system also includes Treble, Bass, and Volume controls that let you dial in your tone.

Premium visual appointments

The Joe Strummer Campfire acoustic-electric is decked out with fine appointments that add to its tone and visual appeal. For starters, an aged-white binding adds a beautiful complement to the satin-finished body color on this striking instrument. A genuine walnut Modern Viking bridge also enhances overall tone and resonance. In addition, scalloped X-bracing adds stellar resonance support as well as extra durability.

Rated 4.5/5

My first acoustic

13 electric guitars and I finally bit down on this. Crazy light to start with. The mechanics are super. Plays easy and a nice action makes it a long player without fatigue. A little light on low tones when unplugged but you can get them amplified. The longer I have it, the more often I choose it. I am glad to have it.
Music background: Musical klutz but, a big dreamer. Love guitar.

Disappointed….Very Disappointed…

I have always had an issue with buying a guitar that I haven't had a chance to play. After playing, or should I say trying to play this guitar for several months it solidified exactly why. I bought this for exactly the reason it is being marketed for, campfires, barbecues, scenarios where you wouldn't want to chance exposing a higher end guitar to. I didn't have extremely high expectations for this guitar because of the price, but bought it because I figured that even at that price it would be a worthy investment that I would enjoy playing and serve it's intended purpose. Unfortunately it will just be taking up space next to others I have that are more enjoyable and worthy of playing. When it arrived to me I was excited to unbox it and was quite happy at how it looked and felt in my hands. Playing it was a total let down. It arrived to me in complete un-playable condition. The action was so high that it not only buzzed uncontrollably at all positions up and down the neck, but after only a few short minutes it really hurt my hands to go on. I took this guitar to my Luthier who is a master craftsman and been in business for over 40 years so that he could try to get it close to where he knows I like my guitars to be set up. I am lucky in the fact that he always gives my guitars extra attention and makes sure I am completely happy with any work he does to them. He adjusted the neck and also filed down the nut that wasn't even close to being right, and did every thing within his powers to make it right, and although it was 100% better than the way it arrived, it is just not something I could use for any length of time longer than 2 or 3 songs before I would have to put it down. I wouldn't reccomend buying this unless you have a chance to play it as I am positive there are much better choices to be had in that price range than this one. I have filed this one under "Lesson learned".
Music background: Started learning music in grade school, have experience playing several instruments, started playing guitar over 25 years ago and have played in several working bands from duo’s playing in small cafe’s and pubs to 5-6 piece bands playing major venues.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too!
