Recently, we reported on the release of the Fender Stories Collection Michael Landau 'Coma' Stratocaster – a signature guitar designed to pay homage to the world renowned session ace’s lifelong sidekick: a ‘59 Stratocaster that he purchased secondhand, and already lightly modded, when he was just 16.
Back then, the guitar already possessed a unique look, thanks to its previous owner having stripped back a Dakota Red finish to reveal the alder body beneath. They’d also replaced the stock pickups with alternatives.
