Todd Rundgren On Tour with Backlund
The legendary Todd Rundgren is currently touring with a reunited Utopia - and chose to use the Backlund Model 100 as his main axe for this comeback tour.
Todd Rundgren knows "a little bit" about guitars. After all, over the many decades of his popular career as solo artist, producer and playing guitar in bands such as Nazz and Utopia, he's always been known as a musician with taste and style.
During the Seventies, one of his main guitars was the "Fool" Gibson SG which used to belong to Eric Clapton during his Cream years... so, we're really pleased to say Rundgren has chosen one of our guitars as his main instrument for the eagerly-awaited Utopia comeback tour, which started last April: the Backlund Model 100. The Backlund Model 400 also made an appearance onstage.
Those are just two of the many Backlund Guitars we currently make - our successful partnership with guitar designer John Backlund, whose creations are not just quirky and unique, but also - and above all - fantastic instruments.
