Magneton Stratocat – EOB Sustainer

Magneton Stratocat – EOB Sustainer

Radiohead's Ed O'Brian's Signature Strat magnetonized!  
UPDATE: Now equipped with the best vibrato on the market: The Vegatrem

 

Here's the story: I've always wanted to try a sustainer pickup and – out of curiosity – I've ordered an EOB signature strat with that exact sustainer configuration. Although the guitar sounded quite good, the built quality and the playability in general wasn't. Some of the parts were simply unusable in my hands: A neck, thick as a baseball bat, with vintage frets that made bending almost impossible, a tremolo that went out of tune all the time, were just the most obvious issues. I could have sold this guitar …

 

…but the sustainer pickup configuration with the excellent Seymour Duncan JB-Junior itself sounded too good. So I made a complete new guitar out of it – the pimped-up version of Ed's vintage white strat – now with a beautiful quartersawn maple neck with a great graphtech Earvana saddle, stainless steel jumbo frets for best comfort, and a new tremolo with brass saddles – and a visually better suiting gold pickguard.

 

If you want Ed's guitar, and you really want to enjoy your playing experience – this is the guitar for you!
