Ed O´Brien Stratocaster : First Impression

I've had this guitar for 1 week. So this is my initial impression which might change over time.

Out of the box, I plugged into my Interface (DAW) and was immediately impressed with the sound and the sustainer. I'm using this guitar a non-traditional way (no amp), to make weird noise and melodies for more electronic based music, so the sustainer was the main featured I liked. I used pedals before the interface to boost the signal and cab sounds.

I plan to set it up more to my own taste, but this is probably expected with any new (or old) guitar. Fatter strings etc, lower/higher action. But I can complain how it came out of the box.

Pros.

Sustainer no.1

Nice Humbucker picked sound.

The Neck is great to play on.

Cons.

Battery for the sustainer can run out quickly if left on.

Comes only with gig bag, it needs a hardcase.

Will need additional setting up for personalized playing.
