    The Ed O'Brien sig strat is actually pretty cool

    It is just a contoured strat but sounds awesome and the tweaks fit their sound perfectly. One of the cooler sigs I've seen.

    Looks cool, and I love the electronics. What is with the 6-screw bridge? Is it MIM? Not that matters; I love my MIM Fenders.

      It is MIM. The electronics are cool. Usually I go 'bah' at sigs, and onboard electronics peeve me, but this one is really cool. The pickups work perfectly for what he does, and that sustainer thing is cool. 1 switch turns it on and off and the other one switches between sustaining the fundamentals, the harmonics, or both.

        One of the few signature guitars I'd consider, and I had to look up who this guy was. He uses pretty cool guitars.

          I've wanted one of these for a while now, the only thing that stops me is the master volume (I would need to add a volume for the middle)
          It's funny how some stories became historic,
          especially when the authors clearly wrote them to be metaphoric,
          But people will believe anything when it's written in stone or ancient scroll...-Fat Mike

            ^ You could probably wire that up.

            It's pretty cool innit. It seems really effective for music making in a band.

              Cool that it has a sustainer stock. I had a hard time finding those individually to make my own Strat.

                It sounds good. Each position sounds bad ass. @ 5:45.

                  Sustainers are a PITA to install. It is better to get a guitar with them built in. I know Fernandes was doing it about 7 years ago, and this is the 1st Fender I've seen with one.

                    I like everything about it except the V neck and the 9.5" radius.

                      That guitar does sound pretty great.

                        I really like that. And I'm glad it's MIM so it probably isn't crazy expensive. Nice to see a really well thought out sig model that's more than just "model x but blue" or whatever.

                            Most signature models are just a collection of specs they have used in the past, but not in that exact order.
