Fender teamed up with Radiohead's Ed O'Brien to create a Stratocaster that's as diverse and unique as the sound it's namesake is known for. The EOB Strat is typical only in looks, sporting three different pickups - a Sustainer Driver Pickup, a Texas Special Single-Coil and a Duncan JB Jr Humbucker - and a gamut of technologies for sonic experimentation that can take you from lush, ambient soundscapes to harsh, full-throttle aggression...all within the confines of an Alder body, Maple neck, Olympic White Stratocaster!
Fender's Take:
At times ethereal and ambient, at others dystopian and aggressive, Ed O’Brien’s contributions to Radiohead’s catalog have been as unique as the man himself. When he needed a guitar that could go above and beyond the normal requirements of the instrument, he chose to create something all his own. The result is this: the EOB Sustainer Stratocaster.
