Open Box Fender Stories Collection Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster Electric Guitar Level 2 Coma Red 197881367008

The Stories Collection Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster from Fender is the signature electric guitar of one of the most recorded guitarists of all time. An L.A. session ace and a player’s player, Landau’s soulful, dynamic and endlessly creative playing has allowed him to remain in-demand across eras and genres, firmly establishing his legacy as an icon of the electric guitar. Throughout his session work and solo career, Mike's constant companion, workhorse, canvas and muse has been a 1959 Stratocaster called “Coma.” Michael found the Coma, already modified, 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 and meet the needs of round-the-clock studio sessions.

This version of Coma recreated for the Fender Stories collection represents the guitar as it exists now. Electronics include custom-designed ML Ultra Noiseless Strat neck-and-middle pickups and a custom Wide Range humbucking pickup in the bridge position. Hardware includes a 6-screw vintage-style Stratocaster tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block, a custom ML-spec neck, Fender ClassicGear tuning machines and the signature faded red satin lacquer body complete with a Floyd Rose route. The Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster wears its rich history on full display, truly representing a vital artist who’s always in transition. Also included are a Coma sticker set, custom strap, Coma pick tin (with limited-edition Michael Landau picks) and a custom Coma-embroidered hardshell case.
