** I NO LONGER RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT **
Whether it's a Sustainiac, or Fernandes system, or something else, I love the sustainer systems for electric guitars. The give unique sounds and abilities that you can't typically get any other way. BUT the issue has always been finding a guitar with one of these installed. Now there's a company that will custom build one of these systems for any guitar! Veyz Sustainer. And it's not even expensive! Let's check this out.

@Nathan-wp5ts Год назад

been using sustainer systems for years... I have one on my cheap project guitar whom I jam-packed with every possible upgrade I can find. I put everything, including an upgraded FloydRose with a stabilizer system, a kill switch, a toggle switch stacked in the volume pot, a coil split selection stacked in the tone pot, even an RGB backlight behind the tremolo cavity that changes colour according to what feature and what mode of that feature I have active. Lastly, I also stuck in a piezoelectric pickup behind the neck sustainer driver w/ it's own independent output and battery. it's a lot of things packed into one cheap guitar that I've grown with for years and I love it. It's only now that I noticed these sustainiac systems are getting pretty popular... great content! i love your videos! hope I see more sustainiac related content... I just love those. their a part of my playstyle now. I would also love to see some new guitar technologies or upgrades that I can add to the same guitar. again, I love your content!

Cool that there's another option for these. Their website is kind of wonky at least on Android and I couldn't find any pricing at all. As to buying from Indonesia, it can be a little tricky sending money from the US, but a little patience is all it takes. Indonesia is full of very talented craftspeople in all kinds of fields. Thanks for sharing this product. 🙂

@robertfaber3839 Год назад

Max, I installed (ok, my local music store tech installed) a sustainiac pickup, readily available, from the company in the good ole USA, on my 70s vibe squire strat. Easy to order, they needed make, model, pickup configuration, sent it pre-wired, only major hurdle was the router work for the battery box. Install kit was $225, tech charged me $80 for the work, and I gotta say I love it! Gonna take a while to figure out how to use it, cause it changes the whole personality of the axe, but it's fun as hell!

I've owned two Sustainiacs and two Sustainers. I currently am down to just a Fernandes Ravelle Deluxe, which is an amazing guitar. I let the other guitars go way too cheaply. To the people that bought them, you're welcome...but I digress. In my opinion, these pickups completely change the dynamics of your playing and allow for versatility and creativity you wouldn't otherwise have. Thank you, Max, for making this particular video. I've seen these Sustainers on ebay and will now be giving them a closer look. PS-I saw someone driving in my 'hood a few days ago. He had long hair and looked like Danzig. ;)

@coalfacechris1336 Год назад

I'm with ya! If Sustainiac's site had some level of organization, and an actual web-based ordering system (email? Come on!) I'd have had one years ago. So confusing. I can see some people having installation issues, so fair play - but too much info is a turn-off. This Indo-system looks like a clone without the intensity option.

Back in the Mr. Scary days I gave the "sustainiac" a go on I believe an ESP & one other guitar. It sounded great but I was afraid I'd get lazy & use it too much, sort of overly dependent on it, but as I get older, instead of working way too hard to get feedback, this is a good choice for the "greying" Mr. Scary aficionados!

However I find the sustainer is hard to control compared to an ebow 🤗 The advantage is that u still can play with ur mediator and u have infinite sustain but you need a really precise action as any string hitted will ring infinetely 😅😅

I bought a Fender Ed O'Brien Stratocaster when they were first released in 2018. It came from the factory with a Fernandes Sustainer in the neck position & two switches (on/off & harmonics). Love it! It's a great guitar all-around, built to Ed's specs, with a Texas Special in the middle and a Duncan JB Jr. in the bridge. The only gripe I have is that the battery compartment is so tight it is mighty hard to remove an old battery. But it's a keeper!

I have had 3 actual Jackson DK2S guitars, and each one needed costly repairs more than once. Even when it had already been repaired by the inventor of the Sustainiac(A. Hoover). Try getting a hold of those guys on the phone or through email when you need help. Very difficult and not the friendliest individuals. There's a reason Eddie Van Halen didn't work with them, and there's a reason most of the big name guys were with Fernandes or Hard Driver. Veyz is a very friendly guy, and I was happy to do biz with him about a year ago. Bonus: One of those Jackson's came back with a giant ding/chomp when they shipped it back to me after the first repair. So the system got fixed, but I got some free damage to my guitar 🙂...and then the system failed again not even a year later. I'll never use a sustainiac again, never do business with them again, and will stick to the hard driver ones in my PC1's, my old Fernandes guitars, or a Veyz.

@MWIrecords Год назад

Very cool! I don't have anything like that installed on any of my guitars, but all my axe's can do those sounds, & more. A few years ago, I bought a DigiTech FreqOut pedal. A fantastic toy, especially for getting useable feedback in the studio, even while recording without a cabinet! You can tweak the feedback pitch, rate, & strength giving you total control! Too much fun!

@Aaron-zh4kj Год назад

I've got one too. The only thing is that it doesn't do is the infinite sustain thing that a sustainer will do (eventually the pedal has nothing to listen to once the note dies). I go back and forth on if it'd be worth it to sacrifice my favorite neck pickup just to have that one feature (sustainer drivers don't sound like a classic alnico neck pickup at all), and I almost come back with the answer no, so the freqout does a fantastic job for those passages in songs where I want the amp in the room sounding and still going through a silent digital rig.

@MWIrecords Год назад

@@Aaron-zh4kj if you set it up as I have, it's quite sensitive. Mine is set to hold & gradually feedback when I step on it, & just the slightest vibrato under my fingers will keep it going strong for a ridiculous amount of time. It's insane, lol!

@robertellstrom9938 Год назад

I’ve also had the DigiTech Freq Out pedal for about 3 years, and when playing my Schecter Sun Valley with the “Sustainiac” with different settings on the FreqOut pedal, it is mind blowing how many other harmonics (somewhere between a dozen different harmonic setting, plus 4 pots that adjust time to come in, depth, etc) I’m able to add to the Sustainiacs 3 settings... After I purchased a 16-20 pound Schecter a couple years ago, I decided that between the weight, and the fact that I was able to do so much more with the infinite settings from the FreqOut, ( only difference was it lacked any way near the amount of infinite sustain as the Sustainiac) but through my agent I was offered a rediculace deal on my “Sun Valley” and only weighing a mere 10 pounds, I couldn’t resist. So now I’m adding a Sustainer to my “John Pettrucci” Music Man, which is my favorite player of my 13 guitar collection!

This is why VERY WELL MADE guitars are so great. The right choice of woods used with perfect craftsmanship that results in the very best body to neck joint. ALL of your best guitars WILL sustain & resonate more than any other when trying them all UN-PLUGGED. Pickups are pickups, and can be changed out anytime. But you can bet the farm that the electric guitar that sustains & resonates the most UN-PLUGGED vs all of the others, WILL do the same when plugged into a good tube amp.
