He's not using a Fernandes, he's using a Fender.

What I meant was that other Sustainer-equipped guitars have humbuckers like hot-rail like his Fernandes Retrorockets. I know he's not using Fernandes anymore was it doesn't have good quality in US, I guess.

He had the fernandes retrorocket as spare in the guitars behind the rack. Look pictures

I think it's interesting that he went for single-coils for that Sustainer guitar rather than the hot-rails or some other single-sized humbucker like his other Fernandes guitars.

You really need a high output bridge pickup to properly drive it, as I learned from experience having 3 Sustainer equipped guitars. Methinks either that guitar has very high output single coil pickups, or they are still humbuckers in disguise, or it has a built in boost so it can drive that sustainer properly.

I totally disregarded the possibility that those pickups could be stacked (like Jeff Beck's) or has really high output. Could be Fender Noiseless?

This is the strat of the edge, maybe the neck changed but this model of 2008.

It's possible but nothing has suggested that is definite, as of yet.

I agree that is likely the finish but I do think it is likely a custom shop job.

I do think that the custom shop gave him some guitars, that sounds quite possible as E_O suggests. They're not like over-the-top gaudy strats like Clapton's, but still.

I got a question. Do you know if the edge pull down the volume pot in the strat? Generally in the strats
