FENDER Michael Landau 1968 Relic Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst

Authentic replica of Michael Landau's 1968 vintage Strat, including case and certificate

The Fender Michael Landau 1968 Relic Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst is an authentic recreation of the original 1968 vintage Strat which the legendary session guitarist from Los Angeles used on countless well-known recordings. Following the historical guidelines, this electric guitar features a light alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with a "Round-Laminated" rosewood fretboard and a "Custom C" profile for easy handling. Three Fender Custom Shop Fat '50s single coils provide the guitar amp with expressive vintage sounds that blend in with almost any style of music. The traditional hardware configuration with a 6-saddle synchronized tremolo and precise vintage-style tuners completes the Fender Michael Landau 1968 Relic Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst.

Selected woods in nitrocellulose finish

For the construction of the Fender Michael Landau 1968 Relic Stratocaster, the Fender Custom Shop uses only carefully selected woods that guarantee a lively sound and low weight of the electric guitar. Accordingly, the body is made of light alder, while the bolt-on maple neck carries the large headstock of the CBS era and the historically correct "Round-Laminated" rosewood fretboard glued to the radius specified by the neck. Here the comfortable "Custom C" profile and the 7.25" vintage fretboard radius promise comfortable playing. Another absolute highlight is the artificially aged nitro finish, which recreates the look and feel of a perfectly played-in vintage original..

Custom Shop Fat '50s pickups for versatile vintage sounds

The Fender Michael Landau 1968 Relic Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst features three Fat '50s single coils wound in the hallowed halls of the Fender Custom Shop. Equipped with Alnico V magnets and the historically correct Formvar wire, these pickups deliver powerful vintage sounds with fat basses, vocal midrange and the typical clarity in the trebles. The lively dynamic response of the single-coil pickups supports expressive electric guitar playing in a wide range of styles between pop, rock and blues. The pickups are controlled via a subtly modified 5-way circuit whose first tone control acts on the neck and middle pickups, while the second tone control determines the treble spectrum of the bridge pickup.

Behind the bone nut, the classic large Fender headstock features six vintage-style tuners for precise and stable tuning of this electric guitar.
