Fender EOB Ed O'Brien Stratocaster Review

Using his signature Fernandes Sustainer-equipped Fender Stratocaster, you too can unleash the same lush, atmospheric soundscapes as Radiohead's Ed O'Brien.

 

Fender EOB Ed O'Brien Stratocaster

Ed O'Brien's ambient, ethereal and orchestral guitar style is an essential part of the sonic identity of Radiohead. Fender partnered with this groundbreaking player to create the Fender EOB Sustainer Stratocaster: an instrument as unique as his sound. This inspiring guitar is perfect for creating lush, layered soundscapes and finding your own creative voice. The Fender EOB Sustainer Stratocaster offers a wide palette of tones thanks to its Seymour Duncan JB Jr. humbucking bridge pickup, Texas Special single-coil middle pickup and Fernandes Sustainer unit in the neck position. The Sustainer works some technical magic to create near-infinite sustain on one or more strings, making it easy to achieve thick, textured sounds. The Sustainer's controls include an on/off switch, intensity control and three-position switch to select the mode: Fundamental-only, Harmonic-only or Blend. A mix of modern and classic, this Stratocaster features a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuning machines, a "10/56 V" neck profile, 21 narrow-jumbo frets, a synthetic bone nut and a special neck plate engraved with a custom "Flower of Life" emblem. The Fender EOB Sustainer Stratocaster is the perfect tool for players looking to find their own creative voice.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us. "nice guitar, took a little patience" Overall: I really like the guitar now that I've spent a little time with it. Ive never used a susatainer before this guitar so I am still figuring out how to use it for my own style. The more I use it the more I am getting used to flipping it on and off for a cool effect rather than trying to use it for a whole song. I am not crazy about the texas special (its not bad, but i really prefer the fat 50's ) , but the other two pickups sound great. All in all it is a very different guitar than I am used to. After two months with it I am really glad to have it. Its currently my favorite gutiar to play. The neck also took a little adjustment, but now i like it. Style of Music: rock, folk,

"It has opened up a whole new world of playing for me" Overall: I've only played Tele's my whole life, since the 80's. Love the tone and how versatile they are. I recently got a Nashville Tele (vintage noiseless Tele pickups (neck and bridge) and a single vintage noiseless Strat pickup (middle) with five-way Strat-o-Tone switching) and was liking the combo of sounds. Being "older" I'm getting into more atmospheric, mellower grooves and was looking for something to get into a new place. Liking the Tele-Strat tones and Radiohead's body of work, I messed around with ebows and Memory Man's but wasn't getting there. After seeing a few demos of this guitar, I had to do it. While it took 5 months to arrive, I absolutely love this guitar. It is a stunner. Absolutely gorgeous and a very smooth fretboard compared to the Nashville Tele. The sustainer was a bit mild upon arrival but I put a new battery in and it went off the rails. There is definitely a learning curve here, palming a bit to minimize the sustainer, but it is brilliant. I've finally dialed in what I was looking for. On the Strat end, it has all the "chirp" that Tele players look for (once in a while) ;-) Style of Music: Everything... I don't know, is it new wave? Taliking Heads, Bowie, VU... and all classic rock, Stones, Kinks and that other one

Pearl EX725SPC Export Drum Kit, 5-Piece

Your Starter Kit Awaits....

 

 

Entry-level drummers need a kit that is not only easy to play, but also one that will last them a very long time -- like the 5-piece Pearl EX725SPC Export.

Pearl EX725SPC Export Drum Kit, 5-Piece

The Pearl Export was the best selling drum set in history, and it's finally back with the EX725SPC Drum Kit! The return of the Export series automatically puts Pearl back on the map for the best-sounding entry-level drum set. The Export sets use Pearl's SST, Superior Shell Technology, Opti-Loc tom mounts, the HWP-830 hardware with a P-930 Demonator pedal, and your choice of finishes.

The Pearl Export Lugs have a bold modern look that has a slightly mixed look, giving tribute to Pearl drums of the past. In the pursuit of maximum resonance and sustain, Pearl Export's lugs have a low mass and minimal shell interaction. The Opti-Loc mounting system gives you perfect stability without restricting the resonance. The mounting system has a triangular design with two available attachment points for tension rods. There is another tension rod mounting point in one of the drum's two air vents. For maximum sustain and wobble free performance, Pearl has put rubber isolators at all connection points, allowing the drums to vibrate freely.

Sound quality cannot be sacrificed, and with that policy in mind, Pearl blended premium poplar with rich Asian Mahogany for a full-body, deeper and richer sound. This shell puts the Pearl Export in its own class because of the expert arrangement of premium plies of wood. All Pearl drum shells are formed through the SST process, requiring extreme heat, precision cut scarf joints, Acoustiglue and over 1000 pounds of hydraulic pressure.
