Glen Campbell Forums

LOL Dee...I am glad you brought it up.

Thanks for confirming the Fender Jaguar Jay.
No more early morning posting without the first cup of coffee for me.

in the article, it states...
"Campbell, right (wearing the huge V-neck), is simply blazing on a Fender Jaguar"

Here he is on Star Route with, what is probably, the same guitar (hard to tell in B&W):


Glen liked Fenders early on and there is quite a bit of recorded history of him playing Teles, Strats, the Jaguar and even a video with him playing a Fender VI bass as well as many pictures showing him with a Fender bass, when he toured with the beach boys.

I can't tell what guitar Glen is playing here. Does anyone recognize it? In any case, doesn't this performance show that super playing is not about the guitar but about the guitar player?

Below is the direct video link. (Many thanks to Diamond Pleshaw for posting this video on YouTube!)
