What Fender have to say:
Ed O'Brien's ambient, ethereal and orchestral guitar style is an essential part of the sonic identity of Radiohead. We partnered with this groundbreaking player to create the Ed O'Brien Stratocaster, an instrument as unique as his sound. This inspiring guitar is perfect for creating lush, layered soundscapes and finding your own creative voice.
Construction
Sticking to the classic Stratocaster design you have an Alder body which is not only lightweight making the guitar comfortable but also resonates perfectly. Paired with a Satin Urethane finished maple neck & fretboard allowing for easy movement up and down the fretboard without and slipping or sticking. The neck has a quite sought after and rare neck shape of 10/56 "V". It feels instantly comfortable to most players hands. "Soft V" shaped near the nut, it rounds to a "C" profile as you reach the higher frets, making it great for both chord playing and soloing, it also makes the guitar feel extremely solid and well built. With the addition of the 9.5"radius fingerboard, topped with narrow-tall frets, makes precision soloing and chord playing easy across the entire neck.
Electronics
This is where the guitar truly shines and stands out from the rest! Starting with a Seymour Duncan JB Jr Humbucking pickup in the bridge, This allows for a huge sound from a single soil sized pickup, it also opens this guitar up to a wider range of styles with ampuls of tonal options. In the middle position you have a Fender Texas Special single coil to provide that classic 'spank' and brightness which strats are known to produce and mixing the who pickups gives you a mass of tonal options to suit most if not all styles of music. Finally the Golden Goose! In the neck we have a Fernandes Sustainer Driver, this pickup is capable of sustaining single or multiple notes for as long as anyone could possibly need. Want to hold you notes forever just like Gary Moore, this pickup will do it, just want your power chord to ring out forever, this will do it. The raw sound of leaving a note ringing for literally minutes will leave you in shock. The Sustainer is also switchable so you can either sustain the note itself or with the flick of a switch it will keep the harmonic ringing whilst the note dies out. This opens the guitar up to produce a massive range allowing for endless sonic capabilities.
