Campbell American Guitars

Decked out in a Napoleon costume, and flanked by a nine-piece band, Shaun Wolf Wortis debuted his new custom Caledonian for his annual Bastille Day A-Go-Go at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Mass, on July 21. The instrument is a magnificent gold, custom painted with red and white piping to mimic a 1947 S.S. Stewart archtop in Wortis' collection. Gold hardware - including Bigsby and Duncan Jazz humbuckers. "This is truly an extraordinary instrument", Wortis says, "It's not often that one has a guitar which everyone in the room instantly notices for its cool looks; and then immediately comments on how incredible it sounds. I mean, even the sound guys were talking about it" "My band guys -- some of whom I've played with for years -- were saying I seem to play at my best with this guitar." (Photo: Justbill.net)
