Will you please send me a Sustaniac Stratocaster or just send me that Ed O'Brien and let me put down some music on it! 😀
Thom: Rhythm Guitar
Jonny: Lead Guitar
Ed: Ambiance Guitar
After seeing them live this is very true
No shit, Sherlock!
Ed is more like a keyboardist who plays guitar, or a guitarist that sounds like keyboard.
Now we want the Jonny Greenwood signature tele
he probably wouldn't do that
That would be awesome
Just buy a 90s Telecaster Plus and you're done!
Given his well known views on gear, I highly doubt he'd ever agree to that.
ianA he also added a killswitch
Ed is one of the most unrated guitarrist, his work on Radiohead is always under the spotlight but he's one of the most creative guitarrist of the 21 century, while jonny do his weird solos and Thom put the base on it, Ed travels in an ambient world that makes Radiohead so unique!
Diego Gutierrez isn't about what star shine the most, it's about how they shine, radiohead it's full of incredible artist, as thom sing also can play piano like philip and use a synthesizer like jonny ( who can play almost all the instruments) ed can sing making second voices and use the guitar, bass and colin play drums... it's a band that they're so talented that they need to have a position inside the band, that does not make them undervalued as you said!
He’s not underrated mate, Rolling stone included him ,as well as Johnny greenwood, in their list of the greatest guitarists of all time
he's good but pls ^^ there is like more than 1000 guitarist who are more creative for my opinion . like tosin abasi ,jon gomm or mark lettieri
when tosin abasi writes a riff anywhere near as good as street spirit then come back
or if he does something as creative as treefingers (for it's time)
This is beautiful. Ed is one of the most underrated guitarists, his way with atmospheres and textures would make Brian Eno proud. This guitar is gonna change the face of alternative music.
Don't think it will mate. Sustainers have been around for years.
Welp, it’s still the best selling signature strat according to fender.com
@@angusyoungrocker9999 It's good enough that the Edge bought one and uses it in live shows.
before i discover him.. i dreamed this guitar and planned to build my own.. wow.. what a coincidence
@@zoeherriot I didn't know that. Pretty cool.
This video is so chill. You should mention the director @fender, this is really a good piece of videomaking.
Good call - This video was directed by The Sacred Egg and produced by Riff Raff Films!
Fernando Lino
And the music is all Ed, right?
Amazingly done.
@@fender wait.... Riff raff????
The music gives me a treefingers vibe, love it.
cmasc966 Ed created treefingers slowed chords, that's why
Will this guitar sustain my EEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDs?
yeah everybody leave
EEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD
EEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD
Ambient guitar playing is all my life, the only thing I want to endlessly pursue. A few notes and bam, you're flying.
Really like how humble Ed o'brien is, with his last sentence !
Fun fact: Johnny Marr has had this sustain system fitted to his Lake Placid blue Jaguar.
Ok now I really want one of those
Fernandez has has them in Their guitars for years Sustainiac I think it's called
Another fun fact - the Edge uses the EOB signature guitar in live shows.
"Drinks are really important to me." Ed O Brien - 2017
He actually hasn't had a drink in about 20 years ;-)
Thom is the head, Jonny the heart and Ed the soul of Radiohead.
Radiohead are an interesting band because they don't really have that strict 'lead guitarist' 'rhythm guitarist' thing going on. The three guitarists are equally important as each other in my opinion. I've always been a 'Bends' kind of guy but watching videos recently of Radiohead in the studio has helped me appreciate their later work all the more and the way they experiment and get new sounds out of their instruments.
Honestly every guitarist should have this guitar, it can do things that no other guitar can do while doing normal guitar stuff.
Holy shit, this is best video on Fender's channel
Ed O'Brien is the secret weapon of Radiohead! I need this guitar!
lol the dislikes from old fashioned farts who sleep with their vintage strats are incoming very fast
Well there's a reason why those farts are not in bands and work in a supermarket. Fuck them.
Deathshuck *work as lawyers
LEGEND. UNDERRATED
Jamerson Jamesههح مخهفتنغوه

Jamerson James .
Yes, every guitarist is underrated according to every youtuber ever. Pffff.
Not sure why Jonny gets so much credit for the Radiohead sound but not Ed. I take way more inspiration in Ed.
HARwinsOUTagain Jonny is the solo guy, I mean his style is pretty awesome Right, but is not different from a guitarist with love for effects and a good style (Jack White or Nels Cline both amazing too); but Ed is the cohesive element in Radiohead, he builds up the background layers to it, and gives that almost electronic Edge to Everything without being really a synth or alike.
From songs like National Anthem or Videotape, Bodysnatchers.
He pretty versatile, playing fuzzy rifs with Wah, sustained lines along the Martenot or a dense wall of filtered octave-up softly strummed chords.
He is just brilliant!!!!
Because it's Jonny (and Thom, of course) who composes and arranges most of the stuff. Let's be honest, Ed is a good guitarist, but he's replaceable.
Technically is also Thom, most of Radiohead's characteristic sound comes from Jonny.
From the brass arrangements in National Anthem, to 15 Steps beat in the modular; even Daydreaming it was made all by Jonny and Ed.
Over time Thom's role has reduced to mostly Voice.
Composition has gone over the others. Even TKOL was made thanks to Jonny's pseudo DAW in Max
You mistake arrangement for composition. Thom's still writing most of the songs (melody & words), and he's involved in the arrangement as least as much as the other members are, except the string scores that are written solely by Jonny.
identikit kitidentiy I guess so
2:02 The Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster, made by Moby
Mdou Moctar, part of the emerging Saharan "desert rock" scene uses the EOB strat and its part of Ed's vision. He was very right with this guitar.
What's the band?
@@shirok3284 Mdou Moctar is a solo artist but he has a backing band. I'd advise looking up his performance on KEXP. It's astounding.
I knew it, he couldn't make it 3 mins without saying "Sonic"
Sonic: denoting, relating to, or of the nature of sound or sound waves.
Seems like a reasonable word to use when talking about the characteristics of sounds.
@@riffsvanwinkle hedgehogs too amirite?
"a whole 'nother hedgehog pallet"
I'm pretty sure that the background song is actually treefingers(kid a track), being played by ed on this guitar
Yh It sounds similar but it’s just a jam
Listen to that sustain. Just listen. You can go to the shop and it's still going.
that pickup and a reverse delay would be magical pure psychedelia
Amazing advert, EOB could sell me one of these despite having no wish for a strat or sustaining pickups.
The clouds at the beginning look magical and the camerawork is a piece of art here.
Ed‘s musical instincts are a massive part of Radiohead’s sound and his sense of tone has been crucial to their success.
I have a dream too, I wake up to find Radiohead have given me one of their Vox amps.
WOW. Incredible piece of marketing there, but with a fantastic product at the core with an even greater guitarist behind it all.
We want to hear O'brien's solo ambient album! I BEG YOU.
my EOB is en route.
thanks for everything ever, Ed.
mine too, did you get it yet?
This dove is in constant flight ❤❤❤❤
Well, apart from a glimpse, and sound, of that extraordinary new guitar, this is a stunningly made video... and assuming that it's not really done in one take, some cleverly invisible edits...! Nice job...!
Love Ed so much
I gotta check this out. I love pedal steel, play lead in country bands, and this thing would make steel licks fun, intros from those ballads in the 90s, plus backing keys type stuff. My brain is loading up so much stuff. Thanks
I've had mine for slightly over two months now. Couple it with an array of delays and a volume pedal and you'll "get" what Ed is talking about. Brilliant!!
Sweet, how is it treating you a year later? I want one.
This is the iMac of Guitars
Bn.6
except that non-millionaires can afford it.
@@kida4313 Some iMacs are actually cheaper than this guitar.
@@nath1606 i suppose
if you guys did a Jonny Greenwood signature tele (with the kill switch and some equivalent to the kaoss pad, maybe even with the stickers built in) I would instantly buy that
It would be really cool if there was a black body and black pickguard with maple fretboard/ neck version of this
I am definitely buying this. Well played Fender, well played
This feels like and iphone ad haha
Ed O'Brien is the new Jony Ive lol.
slorr55 m
This guitar looks insane! Great demo over on the PMTVUK channel, really helpful detailing specs etc. Want one even more now...
Is it me or this guy sounds like John Ivey from apple
Yeah, this sounds like an Apple commercial for a guitar. :)
Istvan De Jesús I thought that aswell
Would like to get my hands on one. Right up my alley.
Great news. Looks amazing. A Greenwood Signature Tele would be great also.
will never happen
would it be green wood?
Buy a tele plus and replace the coil split with a kill switch and you are good to go
Play this at half speed. Even more ethereal (though Ed sounds like he's had some drinks then).
I think Ed and fender really knocked this one out of the park. I'm curious to see if the trailing sustain can be easily manipulated with bending and trem bar. If that the case it's a no brainer for me to ditch the freeze pedal and give this guitar a shot. I can think of tons of scenarios where this would be awesome, like think about delay and trippy reverb on them tails 😮
Plus the harmonic up and down is like a weak pog, I could see it beeing way cool with a choppy tremolo in there too.
thanks Mr. O'Brien. Radiohead has been my favourite band since I was 13. So that's 15 years. I am still learning the guitar and went through a few weeks feeling uninspired. I guess that phase might be over now :)
We need telecaster plus with killswitch of the greatest musician Jonny Greenwood. Please collab!
Jonny doesn't really care about guitars that much, so you'll probably have to make a replica of his.
How can almost 500 people thumb down this video? Soulless creatures all of them. :)
The unsung hero of Radiohead.
Con ganas de que Ed O'brien me preste si guitarra
Whenever I'm stressed, I look for this video
You got it wrong mate, it's 'Eeeeeed'
The guitar in this reminds me of John Martyn, or Jeff Buckley's playing on Grace.
why the dislikes?
Because guitarists are old fashioned narrow minded dumbasses who can't wrap their heads around the fact that in order to be a good guitarist, you don't need to play like Hendrix, Gilmour, Page and anybody else who are either dead or or the edge of retirement.
True legend. I'd kiss his feet if I ever had the chance.
Yo I’m baked AF and this was trippy AF but in a good way. I do want that guitar though 😭
Man, I’ve watched this several times and I can’t help but think of Nigel Tufnel at 2:22 stating, “you hear that sustain?”…sorry Ed…love you man…
I am trying to find reasons not to purchase this, but I think I’m losing.
Gibson, this is how to service your customers.
Only improvement I can think of is to replace the volume knob with a fader to help with swells if you don’t want a volume pedal
“Media sieve?” Hmm! “Immediacy” I think he said
I think you're right. Saw your comment after I mentioned the same thing. This is the sort of lazy quality control I worry about when I buy instruments (or anything really). I've had too many items with dumb defects that should have been noticed and corrected before being sent out into the world. Not bashing Fender, just mass-production in general 😉
This guitar is like Zappa's yellow strat. Sustainer pickups are nothing new. But as far as I know only Schecter offers guitars equipped with them in this price range. I happen to like white strats with maple fretboards so I'm getting one
I didn't know Jonny Ive played the guitar!
I swear radiohead is the fusion of pink Floyd and grunge. They're bloody brilliant
Congrats Ed!
I did. not know of this guitar until today. I got to get one!!!!
This fucking cool. Go Ed!!
Apparently the Edge from U2 uses this strat on a few songs...Bought tickets to go see EOB in concert.
He used the exact same circuit and pickup configuration in a modified Fernandes on the Popmart tour, so he (or Fernandes or his technician) came up with it first. They lost a lot of equipment when their rehearsal room in Dublin was flooded, so maybe that guitar was destroyed.
Yes... My guitarist used to use a Fernandez guitar, but now used the EOB strat. The u2 live at the BBC, you can see Edge using the strat for “Love is Bigger”
@@U2BROTHR There is an interview on premier guitar talking with Dallas Schoo his guitar tech, and they show the guitar and discuss it briefly.
Please, release this as a song ED!!!!!
such a good filmmaking
People here talking about Ed so much but saying that Jonny isn’t as important. Radiohead wouldn’t be what they are if it weren’t for either one of them.
Looks awesome! If i ever get it ill definitley be messing with that sustainer pickup. An awesome guitar for creating some funky sounds. :)
That's it. I'm saving up.
They should install those switches on the pickguard.
Harder than it sounds - the circuit for the sustainer is huge.
.....all the immediacy ...... NOT all the media sieve 🌻🌻🌻
Ok he want that sound but tester on youtube still play pentatonic scale on it.
They'll never learn lmao
Is there a left handed version of the EOB strat? 🙏
Background track was amazing, did he play it?
Great Question! Ed O’Brien composed and performed this sound-track on the EOB Stratocaster. It was recorded at Assault & Battery Studios in London.
Fender Awesome this makes me look forward to his solo album. Thanks for the reply.
Fender did he use any extra pedals or special techniques etc...etc and if so what were they
Would be nice to actually have it in had. Seriously, I ordered that thing back in February, and the date keeps getting pushed and pushed back. Now I'm being told August. I'm not sure who's to blame. Fender for promising more than they could deliver, the shop for taking more preorders than they could handle, or Fernandes for not getting pickups made on schedule.
Ok but can the guitar scream EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ?
First guy who knows how to actually use an HSH Stratocaster.
Completely epic...
Like it. Had a Burny Les Paul with Sustainer for a few years. As used by Steve Hackett. You can get some great ideas using it ranging from massive feedback sustain on chords down to subtle almost flute like notes.
Sounds very ike Robert Fripp in this advert.
Would have liked to have seen more of the guitar and less "atmosphere"
beautiful sound
Can you please tell me the size of the saddles on this model? I need to replace one and I can't find the info anywhere (including the product manual/spec sheet).
Where to find fernandes sustainer kit nowadays online to add it to a strat for leftys?
Bellissima!!
TAKE MY MONEY!!!
You'd think fender just made an indie film
When did Ed turn into Jony Ive?!
Jony Ive is leaving Apple, I wonder if Ed could do Apple's commercials now.
I did that 13 years ago ,put a Fernandez sustainer in my 86 strat,neck pickup,big deal,nothing legendary
but you didn't use it to make kid A so, you know ...
Ok, but does it make important sounds like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED?
i love this ah
@Fender can you tell me how the infinite sustain actually works? The guitar - from the outside - looks like a relatively regular strat.
Does this work without the battery (with the sustainer OFF , of course) ?
Oh, the stuff I would play with this guitar... ethereal, mysterious, light whimsical riffs, like the Beatles. Yet also, dark, cold, brooding, unnerving stuff like Nirvana, Audioslave, Soundgarden, Bush and a lot of Radiohead's earlier work.
They should also reissue the v1 tele plus and add a killswitch and make it the Jonny Greenwood signature and have Jonny Greenwood do some cool riffs and talk about his signature guitar!
Not gonna happen. Jonny doesn't care about guitars as long as they work so there's nothing for him to talk about.
Edvinas Šedeckis Damn, I just thought it was a great idea because it could’ve been such a unique signature
People say the batteries for the sustainer runs out super fast, and that you can't use the other pickups without the battery, even if they're passive.
Sounds like madness to me.
Not exactly. If you remove the cable from the guitar when you're not playing it, the 9v battery will last for weeks. This has been my experience. The build quality of the guitar is outstanding for a Mexican Strat and the neck is incredible.
@@DunedinMultimedia2 DO you own one? This has been on my wish list for some time.
@@MicahBuzanANIMATION Yes. I got it a year ago. This is a deluxe, high end MiM Strat. The build quality is excellent. The neck is chunky, like a baseball bat, and feels great. The sustainer can be beast if you let it get out of control. When the sustainer switch is turned off, the Fernandes becomes a great active humbucker.
Can you make a left handed one?
I'm sure you can get away with re-stringing it maybe?
to a point unless you're hendrix @@cupcakebill911
Play the thing
He played it beautifully the entire time?
Man, I want to want this guitar. Not a fan of maple fretboards and also made in Mexico- I've been burned a few times already. If there is ever a deal I would jump on it. Just can't justify the price. Change my mind!
Check out Trogly's review and tear down on this - he says the quality is better than the average MIM Fender. (Oh... also check out the interview with Premier Guitars and Dallas Schoo, the Edge's roady where he shows the EOB signature that Edge uses live).
mexico production has gotten much better with the player series and all reviews I've seen of this guitar are stellar with only one person saying the fretwork is a little rough
