About This Listing

Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien has now partnered with Fender to deliver a wholly unique, groundbreaking Stratocaster that lives up to the stellar heights of his hugely influential playing style. This Stratocaster features a Fernandes Sustainer pickup (powered by a 9V battery) in the neck position provides near-infinite sustain, perfect for the more ambient, cavernous playing styles that Ed helped pioneer. A single-coil sized Seymour Duncan JB Jr. humbucker resides in the bridge position, and offers extra girth to your tone when you need it. Plus, a Texas Special single-coil in the middle position adds even more tonal versatility for more punch. This pickup combination is like nothing you've ever seen in a Strat. Playability is exceptional as well thanks to modern features such as the 9.5" radius fretboard, narrow tall frets, and great-playing 10/56" "V" neck profile. While Ed opted for a more subdued finish package, his visual style is present in the custom "Flower of Life" logo neck plate. Top it all off with Vintage-Style hardware, and you have an absolutely killer Strat with unmatched tonal versatility that is truly worthy of its namesake.

Product Overview
Combining a versatile triple pickup stack chosen by Mr. O'Brien himself, slick "10/56 V" neck profile, and the robust textural capabilities of an onboard Sustainer system, the Fender EOB Ed O'Brien Signature Stratocaster captures the genius guitarist's tone and style in an affordable, approachable instrument. The combination of a Seymour Duncan JB Jr humbucker, Texas Special single-coil, and Fernandes Sustainer laid out in a traditional Strat format affords players a wide sonic palette of familiar Radiohead tones, and with the onboard Sustainer controls for intensity and mode, reams of sustain or feedback are on tap with the flip of a switch. One of the most intriguing players in the Fender Signature guitar roster.
