World-renowned session musician Michael Landau has played on hundreds of albums since the early 1980s, with artists as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Seal, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, B.B. King, Pink Floyd, and Miles Davis, to name a few. He has also led several bands, including the Raging Honkies, Burning Water, and, most recently, Renegade Creation with Robben Ford. With his group, he continues to raise the bar in electric jazz, instrumental guitar, and rock.
The Fender Custom Shop Artist Collection Michael Landau Signature 1963 Relic Stratocaster is based on Landau's 1963 Stratocaster, featuring a hand-selected lightweight alder body, a special "custom oval C" neck profile, custom hand-wound pickups and wiring, and a weathered Fiesta Red finish over Three-Color Sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer. Other features include a 7.25"-radius round laminated dark rosewood fingerboard with 6105 frets, an era-correct small headstock, a five-way pickup switch, and a custom vintage-style tremolo bridge. The guitar comes with a case, strap, and a Fender Custom Shop certificate of authenticity.
