    Mike Landau has become my favorite living guitarist. After Allan Holdsworth died, I’ve been lost. Allan was my patron saint of guitar.
    It’s really about the music, sound and integrity. Ive been so thrilled with Mike Landau as he beautifully exemplifies all these things. Kudos to Mike on his enduring legacy and to Fender for finding a truly great endorser and frontman. Mike’s tone, music, career are stuff of legend.

    I have to say that Michael Landau to me is the genius of the instrument!
    When I was 9 years old I saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show and from that point on I was hooked!
    I was very fortunate that my father made good money back in the day and in 1961 he bought me a Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta red and a Tweed Deluxe.
    I'm happy to say that I still have those two instruments and will never sell them ever.
    That was the biggest gift my father ever gave to me besides his love.
    I know what Michael is saying about the power of music to overcome things like anxiety or depression or things of that nature.
    I have PTSD and guitar has been my Saving Grace for decades I'm now 68 years old.
    I've been teaching for over 25 years and other than getting out and Performing it's my passion.
    There's nothing like looking at one of my students and realizing that lightbulb just went off in his head or her head and that they're getting it!
    There's just no finer feeling to help another musician along their Journey. And Michael has done just that for me.
    I have many guitars and many amps and one of my favorite apps other than the deluxe that my dad got me is the Michael Landau version of The Hot Rod DeVille.
    It's an excellent pedal platform and the cleans are vintage Fender and perfection.
    I just want to thank Michael from the bottom of my heart for being such an inspiration to me!❤🎉🎸💯🎶🔊😊👍🙏

Deep Human being. i became hip to him when he was with Vinnie at the modern Drummers Festival. for the few of you that are NOT hip to that, Immediately search on RUclips.

    I love this new guitar, but no matter what Michael plays, he always sounds like this. So amazingly filthy, beautiful, clean, obnoxious, deep, bold, sweet, chimey, agressive, unapologetic and everything in between. Amazing.
    I'll never forget my music teacher in High School showing my friends and I a Raging Honkies CD. I couldn't believe what I heard. I recognised a lot of classic stuff like Hendrix and it also contained the element of the 90's grunge bands that I've also loved very much. Ever since that moment I've been a huge fan of Mike's. Forever grateful!

And this here... isn't only a promo video. It's a manifesto to music and guitar playing and a declaration of love for the Stratocaster guitars particularly.
    Oh, how I long to feel this way again myself once more....
