Fender Joe Strummer Campfire Acoustic - The Clash's Fiery Front Mans Soft Side! - Review & Demo

[@twhitlock2964]

I just bought this guitar today! I didn’t realize it was so cool 😎 or even a brand new model until I watched your video! I don’t know a lot about guitars & have always had pretty cheap used guitars. I am not super awesome at playing but I wanted a nicer sounding guitar to get better on. I loved the Clash growing up but had no idea until I got home who Joe Strummer was! I just walked in the shop looking to buy my first brand new guitar ever & this guitar 🎸 was hanging on the wall & it just instantly spoke to me! I picked her up, strummed away to get a feel for her, & we were an energetic match! Beauty in motion, sparks flying inside me, joy in my eyes & a grin on my face! This guitar suits my personality in how it looks, feels & sounds! It truly is a snazzy instrument! I’ve always wanted to play near a fire 🔥 pit under a star 💫 lit sky. So of course I was like ‘could this guitar get any more perfect for me?’ Then he brings out the guitar case & I almost couldn’t deal it was so lovely 😊! My first guitar case ever! I’m really stoked about my new purchase. I don’t buy new stuff often & this was sort of spendy for me so thank you for sharing your video! Made me feel like I made a good purchase. Btw, you play beautifully & your energy is lovely. Well done video!🙏💕🎸🎶🤘Take Care!

Hey congrats to you and may the spirit of Joe run through you when you strum that black beauty Try to learn the song “black man in hammersmith “ in honor of Joe ( you should learn at least one clash song n that ain’t a bad place to start)👍

I have one and I love it. The first acoustic I've ever bought.

What a lovely review, keep the nice work

[@hball6695]

the guitar sounds great and Dagan looks like a giant...

[@msmoniz]

A damn cool guitar but a missed opportunity in the design. Since Joe's main electric guitars were Telecasters, how cool would it have been if the headstock on the Campfire acoustic model had been a Tele shape headstock instead of a Strat one!? Like I said, missed opportunity!

R.I.P Joe Strummer

[@daniellynch1619]

I’m so glad it is a Malibu. It looked like a toy on our boy, Dagan.

Thank you for amazing review + demo! I was thinking a lot what acoustic guitar to buy and after seeing this video the choice was clear.

[@where7847]

it shouldve been a tele headstock

[@thom954]

ive found smaller acoustics to have more tension in the strings - is this a placebo or am i right?

[@kostasdimitriadisguitar9607]

A great punk rock guitar!!! I've got the Alkaline Trio Malibu she's fantastic!!!

[@steel_horse7570]

This looks smart. Not a fan of Acoustics normally as they are sooooo big. Fav Clash song is Train In Vein.

[@Lalairu]

You have parlor and folk/auditorioum sizes at very nice prices :) not a fan of dreadnought either because of their size

[@stackhouse22]

They should have made it with a Tele headstock!😉

[@joannehorrex7548]

Degan why does this sound so different to the malibus when it isn’t really much different apart from looks sound bassier and not as tinny?

[@xenochrist5301]

Was he playing tigers jaw at the start?

[@rorylynch3465]

Would this guitar be suitable for playing in pubs/bars?

[@duaneulman9915]

Thank you

[@jbobmusic3125]

urrrrrmmmm do you look at what i search for on your website, i litterally was looking at small accustic guitars like 2 weeks ago

[@GoudLoodje]

Isn’t this just the Fender Malibu Special with star inlays on the fretboard? They should have came with something new and not something that already exists

[@daveevans6137]

very nice

[@matthewspletzer7951]

if you could only have one tims hellcat or joes campfire????

[@aaronchilds6382]

My debate exactly. For me it would come down to scale length.

[@corysmith4173]

What's the difference between this and the Tim Armstrong signature guitar? Aside from the neck/headstock.

[@aaronchilds6382]

The Tim Armstrong has a 25.3" scale length as opposed to 24.1" on the Joe Strummer. The shorter scale length will feel slinkier, sound a little thicker, and be easier to bend strings. Tim's is a solid mahogany top vs the solid spruce top on Joe's. I like mahogany for its natural compression, but to me it does have a drier, woodier sound. Spruce has nice balance and projection and to me sounds a little brighter. Depends on the sound you prefer. I have the Hellcat and enjoy it, but this one also has my interest. I just wish they had gone for larger star inlays and a tele headstock.

[@DaMainDude]

Great looking guitar - but so tiny :D

[@hawkkye5409]

Whats the price on one of these bastards?

[@PODMTHC]

They should’ve put the tele headstock that ugly strat headstock don’t fit on acoustics ffs

[@DrCook45]

yay first

[@guy_in_the_moon]

congratulations , you were actually first

[@richardsanders2271]

Strummer would have hated this crap

[@metalrunner4398]

OMG, I love Strummer and Clash but this guitar doesn’t look anything like any of guitars Joe played. It sounds dead and very cheap. An insult to great Joe 😕
