1959 Gibson ES335 on eBay | Mike Landau Owned!
Mike rarely gives interviews and never comments on the gear he consigns on eBay, but for this guitar he had this to say:
"I've had the pleasure of owning this fine guitar for about 17 years now. I bought the 335 at Rudy's in New York while on tour with James Taylor, I think is was around '92 or '93. Its an amazing playing AND amazing sounding instrument, plus its definitely got the look. I used it on many sessions over the years, funny enough, I used it on a lot of Nashville artists some years back, including a couple solo's on Tim McGraw and also on his lovely wife Faith Hill."
"The guitar is all original except for an expert refret by Jim Tyler when I first got the guitar. I have the original tuners as well (I put new ones on when Jim refreted it) sadly its time to part with it now, I just don't play it that much anymore, I hope it find's a good home - Its a very juicy guitar!"
The seller, LA Vintage Gear has listed several Mike Landau owned pieces on eBay in the past and are currently also listing Mike's custom Matchless Chieftain 2 x 12 which you can check out here.

Matt Schofield To Release Instructional DVD
British bluesman Matt Schofield (that statement kind of makes him sound like he's in his 60s, I know) is currently filming an instructional DVD for Hal Leonard that is slated for release at Summer NAMM 2010.
According to Hal Leonard Corporation's press release:
December 2009:
Hal Leonard Inks DVD Deal with British Blues Sensation Matt Schofield
Filming underway in London for Summer release
Manchester-born Matt Schofield is making ripples on both sides of the Atlantic and far beyond for his incredible guitar skills. Hal Leonard Corporation, the world’s largest music print publisher, has signed a deal to create an instructional guitar DVD featuring Schofield for release this coming summer.
A confluence of solid blues, jazz, funk and rock, Schofield’s playing conjures up his various influences – the three Kings, Albert Collins, Hendrix, SRV, Robben Ford, The Meters – while sounding entirely fresh and original. His third studio recording, Heads, Tails & Aces, is garnering raves. The L.A. Daily News calls Schofield “the best blues guitarist from any country in decades,” and Vintage Guitar gushes that “his feel for the music is incredible.”
Hal Leonard VP of Pop & Standard Publications Jeff Schroedl shares the sentiment. “I was listening to Sirius and a track of Matt’s came on. I literally had to pull my car over and devote my full attention to listening to him play. He’s far and away the most exciting guitarist to come around in the last ten to 15 years.”
Matt's style brings to mind the bluesy 'fingerpainting' of Robben Ford as well as John Scofield's work with Medeski, Martin and Wood. He borrows much from the harmonic sensibilities of jazz, burning over the more sophisticated jazz-blues changes with aplomb. I'm digging it!
Heading up his trio with Jonny Henderson on Hammond organ and Evan Jenkins on drums, he goes with the (bass-less) organ-trio format to avoid parallels with the current crop of young blues guitar wunderkinds.
Although he used to travel with his vintage guitars -- a '61 Fender Strat, '62 Gibson ES335 and '68 Telecaster -- Matt now chooses an SVL Strat modelled closely after his '61. He plugs into Two-Rock Signature 100 watt heads.
