Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster®

Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster®

Some guitars are just tools. And then there’s Coma. Michael Landau’s legendary 1959 Stratocaster has been by his side through four decades of session work that reads like a who’s who of popular music — James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, Bonnie Raitt, and dozens more — and now Fender has immortalized it in the Stories collection exactly as it exists today. Beat up, modified, half-stripped, and permanently marked with its iconic “Coma” graphic, this is one of the most storied guitars in the history of recorded music, and it’s finally available to the players who’ve always wondered what it feels and sounds like.
