I actually had to look up who Ed O'Brien is. Radiohead huh? I guess Fender will give just about anyone a signature guitar. When did they make the "Ed O'Brien" guitar---got to be before 2009.
P.S.- Sorry to anyone that likes Radiohead...I was never a fan.

Who is Ed O'Brien? There is a video about Ed on the Fender website in the Artist Section under Ed O Brien Sustainer Stratocaster. There are many Youtube videos about Ed and reviews on the EOB Strat itself.

When did they make the EOB Strat? A bit of Googling tells you it was released at NAMM 2017 and became available soon after.

Fender gives anyone a signature guitar? Its not a Signature Strat, its an Artist Strat. No Fender does not give it to anyone. Artist guitars go to guitarists who have something unique to offer and both Ed and Fender wanted to put an EOB Strat into the hands of new players who are inspired by the music EOB and his Strat creates. You do not have to like Ed O Brien, but hopefully you buy the EOB Strat because you are inspired by what it can do and how you can play it. No need to belittle Ed O Brien, no one is making you buy his EOB Strat, so move on and buy a regular Strat or another Artist Strat that you are inspired by.

Most folk seek that golden Strat sound. Great. Some folk may not be Strat purists, but seek a Strat that gives them that base Strat sound but also opens up an extra dimension (with the EOB Strat, its the sustainer pickup) that allows them to be different and create new sounds like Ed O Brien does. That goes for all Artist Strats including the EOB Strat. Enjoy.
