Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster, Coma Red Overview
The Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster is a model that wears its history on full display. It is a modern take on the classic 1959 Coma Stratocaster, one that Landau got his hands on at the age of nineteen and refurbished in order to suit his playing style. A Custom ML humbucker has been featured in the bridge position for a full and punchy sound, whilst the single coils add a glistening overtone with a crisp attack. All of these tones can be further shaped in order to suit your preferred playing style.
This model has been designed with playability in mind, much like when Landau customised the model he bought in an L.A guitar shop. Featuring a classic C neck with a silky satin finish, this model will fit in your hand naturally like a glove. Effortlessly glide up and down the fingerboard like a virtuoso for articulate playing. Topping off this model is a two-point tremolo, which allows you to add a classic vibrato for a unique performance. An iconic tone as expected from an equally iconic collaboration.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDistinctly Fender with an iconic twist
This signature Fender Stratocaster is built with creativity and versatility in mind. Its pickups have been equipped in an HSS configuration, with a humbucker at the bridge and two noiseless single-coils in the middle and neck positions. When combined, these pickups produce Fender's distinctive sound that is loved by players, topped with Landau's unique style. These have been paired with a master volume control, alongside tone controls, which offer total freedom when it comes to your sound.
The addition of a two-point synchronized tremolo bridge offers a beautiful vibrato, whilst maintaining impeccable tuning stability. A bone nut is also employed to further hold the string in position, letting you express yourself without worrying about your strings slipping out of tune.
Sculpted for a perfect playability
Alder is commonly used for guitar bodies thanks to its balanced sound and perfect dynamic range. Thanks to this, it is ideal for a wide variety of genres and playing styles. Crisp highs, full lows, and a punchy midrange, this model has the perfect foundations for an incredible tone. Alder's excellence doesn't stop there. It produces an exceptional sustain and resonance for a clear and defined sound. With its clarity and sharpness, this is the perfect companion for most performers.
This Stratocaster features a classic C shapes neck, which has been crafted for an optimised and comfortable playing experience. It offers a secure and natural grasp, whilst also providing the perfect base for easy and smooth transitions across the fingerboard. Each of the materials used to sculpt the neck also produces its own incredible tonal qualities. Maple and rosewood combine and create a warm characteristic with a snappy attack and depth. All of this results in an exciting guitar that offers an incredible performance.
A guitarist like no other
Michael Landau has featured on a wide variety of albums within the last four decades, making his undoubtedly one of the most recorded guitarists of all time.
