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 version of Coma recreated in 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 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. ‘59 Alder Body with Coma Faded Red Lacquer Finish A classic Fender tonewood known for punch and clarity, this alder body features a faded red lacquer finish replicating Michaels Coma Stratocaster. Michael Landau Signature Pickups Michael’s signature pickup set includes a custom-voiced wide-range cunife humbucking bridge pickup combined with custom-voiced ultra noiseless single-coil pickups delivering sparkling highs, punchy midrange, and full lows to flawlessly re-create Michael's legendary hot-rodded Stratocaster tones.
