Acquired in July, 1995. During Fender’s 2014 “A Conversation with Radiohead’s Ed O'Brien” interview, Ed said that he bought the guitar in San Francisco in the week after the band finished their tour with REM. Originally fitted with three gold lace sensors. Ed replaced the white pickguard with a black one. As with his original Squire Strat, the guitar was a favorite of Ed’s and a key part of Ed’s setup – especially for use on songs with many effects.
