Fender Custom Shop Michael Landau “Coma” Stratocaster Relic Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Masterbuilt by Todd Krause Coma Red

The Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster Relic is a limited-edition tribute to the legendary session guitarist’s prized 1959 Strat. For decades, Landau’s go-to guitar was his ’59 Strat, nicknamed “Coma,” which evolved along with his playing style into its current state as an HSS model with custom pickups. Master Builder Todd Krause partnered with Landau to create a limited run of Stratocasters that capture Coma’s character, including its faded red finish and the hand-drawn “COMA” logo Landau penned on the body himself.

Authentic Relic Finish Captures the Character of Landau’s Prized 1959 Stratocaster

The Coma Stratocaster features a relic’d alder body stained in Coma Red to resemble the faded, worn finish of Landau’s ’59 Strat after years of use. The relic process even recreates the nicks, dents and scratches Coma acquired over decades of studio and stage use. A hand-drawn “COMA” logo, recreated to match the one Landau penned on his guitar, adorns the body.

Custom Neck Profile Enhances Comfort and Playability

The Coma Stratocaster Relic has a custom neck profile designed for comfort and speed. Its rounded ’60s C-shaped maple neck has a 7.25″ radius rosewood fingerboard and narrow tall frets for a fast, familiar feel. The neck’s satin urethane finish enhances playability, allowing your hand to glide smoothly up and down the fingerboard.

Seymour Duncan Pickups Provide a Range of Versatile Tones

The Coma Stratocaster Relic is equipped with a Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker in the bridge and custom single-coil Strat pickups in the middle and neck position. The high-output Distortion pickup delivers tight, aggressive tones perfect for hard rock and metal. The single-coil pickups provide the crisp, glassy tones the Strat is known for. This versatile pickup configuration, combined with the Strat’s 5-way switch, covers a wide range of tones from glassy cleans to roaring distortions.

Premium Components Ensure Reliability and Tone

CTS potentiometers and an Orange Drop capacitor give the Coma Stratocaster Relic an authentic vintage tone and feel. These premium components are built to last and designed to preserve your guitar’s signal integrity for the best possible tone. The Coma Stratocaster Relic also features vintage-style hardware, including Fender ClassicGear tuning machines and a synchronized tremolo bridge.

The Fender Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster Relic brings a musical icon to life. Serious musicians and collectors alike will appreciate its meticulously crafted details, from the authentic relic finish to the Seymour Duncan pickups to the premium components. The Coma Stratocaster Relic lets you experience a rare, coveted vintage instrument reborn for today.
