"It’s tough to overstate the impact Michael Landau has had on popular music over the last four decades. If it came out of Los Angeles in the 80s or 90s, there’s a decent chance that Landau had something to do with it. This amazing recreation of his 1963 Strat has left no detail overlooked and was meticulously crafted by one of Fender’s most sought-after master builders, David Brown.
The fiesta red over sunburst finish was recreated down to every scratch and ding, an incredibly time-consuming process that was executed with the utmost precision. Some of Landau’s most heralded guitar work was with Boz Scaggs, and much of that was played on his trusty ’63 Strat. If you’re on an endless quest for the perfect Scaggtone, as we all are, this may be just the guitar to get you there."
