Michael Landau Coma Stratocaster
(Coma Red)
Unique, Versatile & Iconic!Having played on countless albums over four decades – Michael Landau is easily one of the most recorded guitarists of all time. An L.A. session professional 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 securing his legacy as an icon of the electric guitar. Mike’s guitar has featured on records by Pink Floyd, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, B.B. King, Rod Stewart, Mile Davis, Boz Scaggs, Tim McGraw, Bonnie Raitt and many more.
Throughout his career, Michael’s constant companion, workhorse, canvas and muse has been a 1959 Stratocaster® that goes by the name “Coma.” Michael found the Coma at a local L.A. guitar shop when he was 16. The refinished body and swapped-out pickups gave him everything he needed to customize the instrument throughout his career to suit his evolving style. The distinctive Coma Red finish and permanent marker “Coma” graphic make it unmistakable, and the guitar has had multiple different incarnations over the years, hosting a wide variety of pickups, electronics, hardware configurations and bridges.
