Ed’s black Stratos are two Eric Clapton Signature models from the 90s featuring 3 Gold Lace Sensor pick-ups. They can be distinguished by the stickers on the bodies. Starting from 2000 these two guitars have been modified: they now feature Fernandes Sustainer Kit FSK-401 which is composed of two parts (bridge and neck pick-ups). The middle pick-up of the left pictured Strato has remained the same whilst that of the other has been replaced with a Silver Lace Sensor. Ed uses Dunlop Nylon .88 mm picks. Since thei |

This
guitar has introduced by Ed in 2002 for Myxomatosis. It’s a black model with golden hardware and humbucking pick-ups. It's been dropped now in favour of a Fernandes Native Pro Ed adopted this blonde

| The “Plank” Guitar | ||
|
A custom handmade guitar built by “Plank”, Radiohead’s technician, from different guitars: the semi-hollow body is probably made out of a Rickenbacker, the neck comes from a Gibson. It seems to be armed with Dual Red Lace Sensors both in the neck and in the bridge, a tone and a volume control, a pick-up selector and a bridge with whammy bar. The “Plank” guitar is used by Ed on songs like Just, My Iron Lung, Climbing Up the Walls and many old songs. |

only other guitar, no more used because it’s been probably stolen
in 1995. It was a yellow model with a black pickguard, standard features and a lot of stickers. It can be seen in any early performance of the band and in the videos of Creep and Anyone Can Play Guitar. |
