This is a demo model guitar that is currently on display in our showroom. The guitar is in excellent condition but does show evidence of being handled and played in our showroom. There is some very light scratching on the top well as some very minor surface scratching on the back of the guitar. These scratches could be buffed out with minimal effort. The guitar will ship as shown with full warranty and all the original factory documentation and packaging. We are authorized to give a great deal on our demo model Fender guitars! Our professional luthiers will fully inspect and set up the guitar before we ship. If you have any questions about this guitar or any of our great gear please let us know.
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.
