This is quite possibly the only strat I'd ever need. But to be honest if I got it, I mean when I get it, it would be my third and certainly not my last because strats are like fuzz. You just can't own enough!
I could get lost for days experimenting with that fiddle! It looked like you were enjoying those ambient washes. 😁 Count me a member of the end of the video club! Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is a fave of mine. 👍
OMG your reviewing an actual guitar . No gimmicks . I liked the video ,back to what I think you do best. Clever lighting too . Beautiful playing and nice guitar
Thanks for demoing! liked the idea of this since first announced but not sure how many fender made, have never found any to try in any fender dealer so far
I remember these kinds of sounds being used in the songs 'Where I End and You Begin' and 'Dollars and Cents' (among others). Really cool guitar. Thanks for the review.
15 steps to nude body snatches is all I need in this house of cards to have weird fishes jigsaw falling into place. Caught on videotape I reckoner Faust arp.
On my main Strat I have a Hot Rails in the bridge, but almost went with the JB. I appreciate you going over this guitar, especially the Sustainer, which I have no experience with. I recommend adding Daphne Blue and Surf Green Strats to your collection, they'll make it prettier.
Can't see one single situation where I'd give it any use... So obviously I need that guitar to live. Not much of a Radiohead fan; but. I like to listen to them occasionally. Big love from a very happy, back at work after this nightmare Spaniard. H Stay safe everybody!
Freind of mine bought one of those vox teardrops with built in speaker then bypassed part of circuit that switch speaker off when plugged into an amp, oh my god it was amazing as speaker in guitar reacted and drove string in infinite sustain noise fun
EOV CLub for the EOB Sig-Series Guitar! Woo-hoo! Radiohead is my favorite band so I can't choose just one song. But, this guit is fire and it's going on my list for Santa!
Hi Andy, I think one song that sticks in my mind is "Just". Love the guitar in that! The sustainer would be fun for a few weird experimental things alright.
I think I need one. Definitely going onto the wishlist. That JB junior really is lovely. I'm not a massive Radiohead fan but I do like the song 'Just'.
I bought one and it was the best decision I've ever made. The guitar has actually played a huge factor in the type of player I am now, and the type of music I end up creating. There are so many things you can do with this guitar that you just can't do with a regular guitar.
That seems like a lot of fun. I a new player and I’d get lost making strange noises instead of practicing. As for my favorite Radio Head song, I used to play Ok Computer a lot and Paranoid Android became my favorite
I love a quirky and different guitar like this. All packed in a a lovely form. I could play fo hours with this Fantastic fun guitar I love creep personally❤️❤️
Two questions. 1. Is that an Aston Microphone shirt you are wearing? 2. Is there a fast clicking sound when the guitar is in sustainer mode? Maybe a magnetic interference?
A stratocaster with a JB in the bridge ready to rock and I'm sold ! ;) I hope someday you will do another video with the dookie pedal ! I still don't know what amp should I get because valve amp seem to have so much more life in it over a Katana... but not so bedroom-friendly ! I Cheers and keep the good videos coming, it's amazing how your channel exploded since the time of the might bullet mustang :))
Ripcord off Pablo honey and let down off ok computer are my faves. Eob is a marvel of restraint and has the tricky role of being one of three guitarists which is something I usually dread...
Technically it won’t sustain forever because the battery will die. lol - I just wanted to be one of those arse commenters that my channel gets so much of! Great demo 🤓🤘🏻🎸
Call me a barbarian - I can`t name a single Radiohead Song and never even played one on Rocksmith. This sustainer mod seems to be a great and fun addition to this strat, though.
pay attention to the end of the song. The sound effect that leads into this sort of explosion sound in the end. That is Ed's work, with a guitar and analogue delay petal and maybe something more.
Fun fact I saw it in a video the other day that the main guitar riff hat Thom plays in that song is written by Ed. .. I never knew this before, so I don't know weather it is true or not.
TheGuitarGeek just curiosity, was following you for some time and wish to know what happened. Last time I remember it was HB Mustard DC you have been talking about and then I lost track. Now I only know people saying that big T sacked you. (If you feel to say something please do it on msg, not public), and I always enjoyed yours tips, tricks and reviews. That’s all, just curiosity. Anyway am glad you’re still in business!!! All the best mate!
Biguitar I’ve had the eob strat for about a year and a half and yes, it eats 9 volts pretty fast. That’s my only complaint with the guitar. I love it to death but I don’t like having to worry whether it has enough juice in the battery
@@dabielmusic Thanks, so I can see that it didn't evolve very much, I experienced the first ones in the early 90's, (Kramer sustainor) and they were battery eaters..
@@TheGuitarGeek Why don't they simply make them with re-chargeable batteries, so if they run out, you could simply plug them in. Or have the possibility of having a plug in power-chord, like on guitar pedals.. is that maybe not possible. Or is it made like that so you are forced to buy batteries each time and support he battery business?
I’m a bit gutted you didn’t hold it up and say “the sustain, just listen to it”. “It’s famous for its sustain, I mean, you can just hold it....🎶AaaAaaAaaAaaAaa~~~~~~~~~ “ Creep. 😉 (my favourite is High & Dry / Street Spirit but Creep wins for comedic value 😂)
Never liked Radiohead, I did try and even bought one of their CDs to try and find what all the fuss was about. The Sustaining Stratocaster sort of works but it’s not for me, I’m sure a few players will love it though. Didn’t a Japanese manufacturer do something similar some years ago? I seem to remember it was called a Sustainiac or something.
Hey Henry. The sustainer is not new. It’s been around a while. I think this is the first time it’s on a signature fender though. Which album did you try?
OK Computer. It was just too “art school “ for me. I had the same sort of problems with bands like Yes in the 70s, they’re just not what I call rock & roll, in fact I was much happier when punk came along.
Anything I want! and only one? Paranoid android, no , Pyramid Sond, No , Just,no Wait a minute are you sure I can only have one? Jigsaw, no, Exit Music, no Everything In It's right Place, No, Amnesiac, No, wait ummmm, if It's only one the forget it - no song.

Why do you only ever review 3/4 size guitars?! :P
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Lol
Oh is he huge?
This is quite possibly the only strat I'd ever need. But to be honest if I got it, I mean when I get it, it would be my third and certainly not my last because strats are like fuzz. You just can't own enough!
The ambient was very spacey keyboard tones. Feels like something I'd hear in a space sim game as background music. Hmmm
I had a lot of fun. My eyes went a bit wobbly though
I could get lost for days experimenting with that fiddle! It looked like you were enjoying those ambient washes. 😁 Count me a member of the end of the video club! Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is a fave of mine. 👍
So good!

There are a few in Germany and some on reverb.com
Never really listened to Radio Head, but I will be having a listen now because of this guitar.
What did you think and what did you listen to, they change up their style quite a bit
I remember these kinds of sounds being used in the songs 'Where I End and You Begin' and 'Dollars and Cents' (among others). Really cool guitar. Thanks for the review.
Very tempted by this guitar. Great review :)
These guitars are wicked fun! Just make sure you have a good strong 9V to get the most out of it.
for ambient sounds this is great. EOB is a master of this in Radiohead
totally.
Thanks! Dark Star!
Grat choice. Not an obvious one.
15 steps to nude body snatches is all I need in this house of cards to have weird fishes jigsaw falling into place. Caught on videotape I reckoner Faust arp.
So good!
FIRST! Your thumbnail game is beyond point brother
😍😍😍😍 first!!! I worked hard on that 🤪
It reminded me of Conky 2000 😂
On my main Strat I have a Hot Rails in the bridge, but almost went with the JB. I appreciate you going over this guitar, especially the Sustainer, which I have no experience with. I recommend adding Daphne Blue and Surf Green Strats to your collection, they'll make it prettier.
Those would be some VERY pretty colours. I fell in love with that JB here. The sustainer also sounded superb. All in all a very fun guitar
Can't see one single situation where I'd give it any use... So obviously I need that guitar to live. Not much of a Radiohead fan; but. I like to listen to them occasionally.
Big love from a very happy, back at work after this nightmare Spaniard.
H
Stay safe everybody!
Hahahaha. Yes it is necessary for life. Greetings to you in Spain!
Hey joguipo!
It’s a great guitar. Just had a setup done and put some slinky’s on it. Wow
Freind of mine bought one of those vox teardrops with built in speaker then bypassed part of circuit that switch speaker off when plugged into an amp, oh my god it was amazing as speaker in guitar reacted and drove string in infinite sustain noise fun
That’s a GREAT idea
EOV CLub for the EOB Sig-Series Guitar! Woo-hoo! Radiohead is my favorite band so I can't choose just one song. But, this guit is fire and it's going on my list for Santa!
Interesting video, thanks. I checked it out because there's one of these for sale locally to me. I think I'll make an offer. Thanks again 🙂
Heck to the yeah. I even like the color.
Hi Andy, I think one song that sticks in my mind is "Just". Love the guitar in that! The sustainer would be fun for a few weird experimental things alright.
Just absolutely rocks. I remember the first time I heard it and didn't know what it was
Always to the end!
I want this guitar.
You and me both brother
That would be a very fun guitar to play around with. Picking one song is difficult. Today I think I'll go with My Iron Lung.
It really is fun. That’s a great track
I think I need one. Definitely going onto the wishlist. That JB junior really is lovely. I'm not a massive Radiohead fan but I do like the song 'Just'.
It’s a superb guitar mate. Just watch out for the fat neck. It’s not for everyone
TheGuitarGeek Nowt wrong with a chunkier neck on a guitar. Want one even more now. 😁
I bought one and it was the best decision I've ever made. The guitar has actually played a huge factor in the type of player I am now, and the type of music I end up creating. There are so many things you can do with this guitar that you just can't do with a regular guitar.
I need this guitar
You and me both!
Very interesting! Novel even.... I love the middle pickup but I like a regular cluckin' Strat myself. Great video Andy. Thanks!
Cheers Tony
@@TheGuitarGeek Cheers Larry!
You’re welcome Valerie
TheGuitarGeek aghhh... Stay in same sex please. Oh wait... That sounded wrong!
That seems like a lot of fun. I a new player and I’d get lost making strange noises instead of practicing. As for my favorite Radio Head song, I used to play Ok Computer a lot and Paranoid Android became my favorite
Nothing wrong with making noises man! That’s a great song
I tried a Sustaniac in a store years and years ago and it’s a ton of fun!
Weird noises are good and making weird nosies is the definition of practice!!! Lol.
I love a quirky and different guitar like this. All packed in a a lovely form. I could play fo hours with this Fantastic fun guitar I love creep personally❤️❤️
Two questions.
1. Is that an Aston Microphone shirt you are wearing?
2. Is there a fast clicking sound when the guitar is in sustainer mode? Maybe a magnetic interference?
EOB. What a ledge.
Not a huge Radiohead fan but I do have a Burny and a Fernandez equipped with sustainers! \m/
How is that Burny???
@@TheGuitarGeek It's a beauty,although not a japanese one! Black Les Paul shape,great for playing More than a Feeling and that's about it! ;-) jk \m/
A stratocaster with a JB in the bridge ready to rock and I'm sold ! ;) I hope someday you will do another video with the dookie pedal !

I Cheers and keep the good videos coming, it's amazing how your channel exploded since the time of the might bullet mustang :))
You are right! That guitar changed a lot. What about one of the Marshall Studio amps?
@@TheGuitarGeekReally? Thank you for the suggestion Andy, I will check them out 🙏
That is a noice analogue delay.
Hells yes! Video on that coming too
Where is the crackling noise coming from??
Your shirt is amazing!
Thanks to Aston mics for the shirt!
woop, woop. I made it. Was about to quit but i held on till the end
You are a trooper!
Ripcord off Pablo honey and let down off ok computer are my faves. Eob is a marvel of restraint and has the tricky role of being one of three guitarists which is something I usually dread...

Yeah I'm a member of the "end of the videoclub" ;-)
Aww yeah!!!
Hi, loved the review. Thinking of getting one of these. How long roughly does the battery last?
I’m not sure but I played for hours over days and it was still going strong
In that Club!
Yay !
That's it, I am calling my whammy bar the "wiggle stick" from now on..that is awesome.
That’s because it IS the wiggle stick 😂
@@TheGuitarGeek that"s right..sorry..wiggle stick it is...the whammy bar is a club in Florida for Milennials.
Jeff beck should get his hands on one !
Too many good songs to list, but I’ll go with Fake Plastic trees. A guitar I would like to own! Great review thanks!
Nice one!!! You are welcome
Call me a barbarian - I can`t name a single Radiohead Song and never even played one on Rocksmith. This sustainer mod seems to be a great and fun addition to this strat, though.
You are a BARBARIAN!!! 🤪
How on earth can I pick a favourite? That’s toooooo hard.
Well... that’s the game!
TheGuitarGeek I can't. I just can't.
Wiggle Stick. For the win.
Should have gone with an actual HB JB imo.
The National Anthem from Kid A. Dope song
I need to revisit that album dude
It's definitely a really good one
Oddly enough, my favourite Radiohead track is pianobased: Karma Police.
pay attention to the end of the song. The sound effect that leads into this sort of explosion sound in the end. That is Ed's work, with a guitar and analogue delay petal and maybe something more.
@@Atlas65 that ending is wallbreaking awesome … just ordered the guitar btw 😛
Street Spirit
Such a beautiful Piece!
Fun fact I saw it in a video the other day that the main guitar riff hat Thom plays in that song is written by Ed. .. I never knew this before, so I don't know weather it is true or not.
I have one,changed my life. Really. I’m a synthesist
Fake Plastic Trees... I love the concept of this guitar, just unsure if I'd ever use it... Oh, and HI ANDY!
Hello Fletch! I couldn’t put it down. I could see myself using it live for sure
BRITSTRAT
Sustainer mmmm 😋 tasty
Kewl klub I’d like a sustainer and enough talent to use it proficiently 🤘🏽
I run into you every where! Lol
I’m like master card Ery where you wanna be.
With a introductory rate as low as 39.75% interest for qualified applicants
Am I the only one who thinks this guitar would be great for worship music?
Why you have been sacked from Thomman??? That is a question!
Are you genuinely concerned for my employment status or do you have a less positive motivation for your assumption?
TheGuitarGeek just curiosity, was following you for some time and wish to know what happened. Last time I remember it was HB Mustard DC you have been talking about and then I lost track. Now I only know people saying that big T sacked you. (If you feel to say something please do it on msg, not public), and I always enjoyed yours tips, tricks and reviews. That’s all, just curiosity.
Anyway am glad you’re still in business!!!
All the best mate!
This compilation is for Japan
nice
favorite has to be weird fishes, it's one of the only songs in these comments that he actually uses a sustainer on, too
Nice on a strat finally, but those systems are often battery eaters.
I used this for a few hours and it was fine but I can imagine you’d need a new battery often
Biguitar I’ve had the eob strat for about a year and a half and yes, it eats 9 volts pretty fast. That’s my only complaint with the guitar. I love it to death but I don’t like having to worry whether it has enough juice in the battery

@@Atlas65 i much prefer replaceable batteries over custom batteries that can die after a few years.
Good review. I'm just glad I never felt the need for such complexity.
Cheers Lou. It’s amazingly fun
Made it 2 the end, always! Fake plastic tree's baby!
Oh heck yes!!!
Radiohead's Creep
Welcome to the club
I’m a bit gutted you didn’t hold it up and say “the sustain, just listen to it”.
“It’s famous for its sustain, I mean, you can just hold it....🎶AaaAaaAaaAaaAaa~~~~~~~~~ “
Creep. 😉 (my favourite is High & Dry / Street Spirit but Creep wins for comedic value 😂)
Gra Ald damn. Damn damn damn
Polyethylene (parts 1 & 2)
So, talk me out of buying this guitar...
Interesting video, but not a big Radiohead fan personally........Kev

Hahahaha, all good potential choices!
This was looking good but I found that you can't adjust the neck without taking the neck off so, no thanks
I’ll admit that’s a turn off but it’s not that tough to adjust after a bit of practice
This guitar is a thing.
I made it to the end of the video BTW but I just don't like to brag... Hang on a sec...
Shame it's only available in one colour.
Which colour would you want? I’d like to see a rosewood neck version
@@TheGuitarGeek Dakota red, a colour rarely used by Fender but one of my favourites.
No surprises
Boo!
Sustai.............................................................................................................................................................n lol
In the club yay! Radiohead are poo but EOB is a genius!
