Fender Custom Shop Michael Landau Signature 1968 Stratocaster Relic Electric Guitar 3-Color Sunburst

The Fender Custom Shop Michael Landau Signature 1968 Relic Stratocaster is based on the 1968 Strat of the world-renowned session ace, who has played on hundreds of albums since the early 1980s, with artists as varied as Joni Mitchell, Seal, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, B.B. King, Pink Floyd and Miles Davis. Landau has also fronted several bands, including the Raging Honkies, Burning Water and, more recently, Renegade Creation with Robben Ford. With his own group, he continues to raise the bar in electric jazz, instrumental and rock guitar.

The Michael Landau Signature 1968 Relic features a hand-selected lightweight alder body, special "custom oval" neck profile, custom hand-wound pickups and wiring, and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Other appointments include a round-laminated dark rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius and narrow jumbo frets, period-correct large headstock, five-way pickup switching, and custom vintage-style tremolo bridge. The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Fender Custom Shop certificate of authenticity.
