This is the Fender Michael Landau “Coma” Stratocaster – a signature instrument for the session musician who’s easily one of the most-recorded guitarists of all time! Mike’s guitar has graced records by Pink Floyd, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, B.B. King, Rod Stewart, Mile Davis, Boz Scaggs, Tim McGraw, Bonnie Raitt and many more. Throughout his career, Michael’s constant companion, workhorse, canvas and muse has been a 1959 Stratocaster® called “Coma.” Michael found the Coma at a local L.A. guitar shop when he was 16. The refinished body and swapped-out pickups gave him all the permission he needed to customize the instrument throughout his career to match his evolving style. The distinctive Coma Red finish and permanent marker “Coma” graphic make it unmistakable, and the guitar has had several different incarnations over the years, hosting a wide variety of pickups, electronics, hardware configurations and bridges.
The Fender Coma Stratocaster recreates the guitar as it is now: custom-designed ML Ultra Noiseless Strat pickups with a custom Wide Range bridge humbucker, a 6-screw vintage-style Strat tremolo and a faded red satin lacquer finish on the body. The most unique part about the looks of this one is that the Strat still has the Floyd Rose route from previous years. The Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster wears its rich history on full display, truly representing a vital artist that’s always in transition. Included in the custom Coma-embroidered hardshell case are a “Coma” sticker set, custom strap and a Coma booklet written by Michael himself.
