Radiohead Sig Strat

So Ed O'Brien is getting a signature strat with a sustainer by the looks of it, few more the usual suspects showing up as well!

Wonder how much that George Harrison Rosewood Tele will cost. They've done them in the CS before but I can't pay CS prices.

A custom neck plate instead of a signature on the Ed O'Brien Strat. I dig it. Having strat GAS is an alien feeling to me.

Ed has been doing a lot of cool shit with sustainer equipped guitars, this is pretty awesome.

It's a limited run of 1000. I thought they were going to be 2300.

Same. It's very tempting though... and at the affordable end of Sig Models...

Strange that they would put out an all-Rosewood Tele at a time when CITES is a big issue. :derp:

Is it all rosewood, though? Or just a Telecaster with a rosewood veneer on the top and back?

I think calling it the GH signature (and pricing it at $2.5k) makes it more likely it's all RW.

Wow, I'm not a Strat guy and that EOB Strat is pretty interesting to me. I really love how tastefully they've executed on this, can't wait to try one in person. What do these sustainer pickups sound like if you're not running an Ebow and zillion delays like Ed does?

Personally, I can't wait for the Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney signature model grand piano. It will be made entirely out of ebony and ivory.
