The EOB Stratocaster features a Fernandes Sustainer

The Fernandes Sustainer driver in the neck position expands the guitar's traditional sonic capabilities by creating near-infinite single or multi-string sustain. This is linked to two micro switches, one an On/Off switch and the other to switch the sustain between Fundamental/Harmonic/Blend sounds. The third control knob normally labled Tone is labeled "Volume" on the EOB Strat. This third control adjusts the intensity of the Sustainer, from mild to wild!

Unique Pickup Configuration with with Seymour Duncan JB Jr. and a Texas Special single coil
The single-coil-sized Duncan JB Jr. humbucking bridge pickup in the EOB Strat offers giant Rock tones, while the Texas Special single-coil middle pickup adds extra spank to the traditional Fender sound.

9.5"-radius fingerboard and "10/56 V" neck profile
The Fender EOB Stratocaster features a 9.5"-radius Maple fingerboard, topped with narrow-tall frets. This makes precision soloing and chord playing easy across the entire neck. The beefy, resonant neck feels instantly comfortable to most player's hands. "Soft V"-shaped near the nut, it rounds to a "C" profile as you ascend the neck, making it great for both chord playing and soloing.

Custom neck plate and vintage-style hardware
The custom "Flower of Life" logo is an image said to represent the basis of music; the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between whole and semi-tones. The vintage-style bridge and tuning machines give this guitar the authentic look, feel and tone of a classic Fender instrument.
