Fender Artist Ed O'Brien Stratocaster Olympic White

Fender Artist Ed O'Brien Stratocaster Olympic White

Description

Condition: Item is subject to minor cosmetic imperfections. Packaging may be in poor shape. The item displayed in the images may not be the actual item you receive.


Designed with Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien, the Fender Artist EOB Sustainer Stratocaster is a truly unique take on the Fender classic. Outfitted with the Fernandez Sustainer Circuit at the neck, the EOB strat is capable of almost-infinite single- or multi-string sustain. Couple that with a Seymour Duncan® JB Jr. humbucking bridge pickup and a Texas Special single-coil Stratocaster pickup in the middle, as well as a “10/56 V”-shaped maple neck with 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard and you’ve got a very playable Strat built to play almost forever.


About Fender Artist Series:


Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.


Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
