If you like the looks and the spec of the guitar then go for it

They also confirmed the EOB is not limited run.
The spec looks really interesting, it has a powered sustainer pickup in the neck with on / off switching plus a high / low / blend switch for feedback tone. The 2nd tone control position controls the sustain level.
Similar to the Jonny Marr in that the player has specified the fit out.

The next day, I got an email asking me if I would share the URL, so I did. A couple of days later, the offending website, where the download was offered, vanished. Of course the email was from a guy named Ed. It took me a while to twig that it could have been Radio-Ed himself.
I actually went on to buy the cloth-bound book version of Amnesiac, but obviously I understand why the site went etc. Funnily enough it wasn't long before Radiohead were offering an album download for whatever the downloader wanted to pay. I can't remember which one that was, but I paid £5.
My feedback thread is here.
As for the EO'B Strat, I think it looks awesome. It's not a classic rock/blues guitar - it's entirely meant to be for making strange noises with fuzz pedals and delays and loops. I'd love one.
And considering adding a sustainer to a regular Strat would cost you well north of £200 I don't think it's overpriced
Then look up the cost of a roughly equivalent Mex Strat.
Now factor in fitting costs.
Its not unreasonable, imho.
As for the guitar, I’m very interested - most sustainer guitars are a bit too rawk or metahhhl for me, so this is of great interest.

But if it was an interesting instrument in its own right that just happened to be a sig (which is the case here IMO), I'd take a look.
Despite not really having any opinion on Troy Van Leeuwen, I own a Yamaha SA503TVL which I love - because it's a quirky design with its own character (as well as being typically well-built for a Yamaha).
And a Fender 85 plus a shitload of crazy FX
