Fender EOB Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster | Olympic White

The Fender EOB Sustainer Stratocaster is a one-of-a-kind signature model designed in collaboration with Ed O’Brien of Radiohead, capturing the ambient, ethereal textures that define his sound. Built to inspire creativity and exploration, this Stratocaster delivers a vast tonal range and near-infinite sustain, making it the ultimate tool for creating lush, layered soundscapes.

Equipped with a Seymour Duncan® JB Jr. bridge pickup, a Texas Special™ single-coil middle pickup, and a Fernandes® Sustainer unit in the neck position, it offers everything from dynamic punch to endless, evolving sustain. The Sustainer’s dedicated controls include an on/off switch, intensity knob, and a 3-way mode selector — letting you choose between Fundamental, Harmonic, or Blend modes for truly expressive tone shaping.

Blending classic Fender feel with modern innovation, the EOB Sustainer Stratocaster features a "10/56 V"-shaped maple neck, 9.5" radius fingerboard, 21 narrow-jumbo frets, 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo, and vintage-style tuners for authentic playability and tone. A custom “Flower of Life” neck plate adds a distinctive finishing touch, symbolizing the model’s artistic inspiration.

The Fender EOB Sustainer Stratocaster is perfect for players seeking ambient tones, infinite sustain, and creative expression — a true reflection of Ed O’Brien’s innovative spirit and Fender’s legendary craftsmanship.
