Jim Campilongo

Jim Campilongo is a U.S. rockabilly/country/jazz guitarist from San Francisco, CA but is based out of New York City. Most of his original music is instrumental, although he has featured the singers Norah Jones and Martha Wainwright on his last two releases, and he is a member of The Little Willies, which also includes Jones. Campilongo plays a Fender Telecaster.

Jim Campilongo’s main guitar is a 1959 Fender Telecaster with a three saddle, toploading bridge with threaded “steel” saddles and slot head set screws. Both of the stock pickups on the Telecaster have been rewound by Seymour Duncan so they are “original” and “Duncan’s” at the same time. Everything else on the 1959 Telecaster is stock except the Gotoh/Kluson tuners.
