Put this together. Don't bother with a sustainer. It's not any better than an ebow, and twice the price, un installed. I might record with it, we'll see.

The guitar itself plays really well, its the best fucking setup ive ever done!

That thing is sweet.

I'm all about large metal things on guitars.

There's some interesting DIY sustainers being built out there Mainly in a massive thread at Project Guitar. With schematics and that. I'd like one in my telesitar project as an ebow wouldn't be practical for how I want it to work....will take crack at a diy sus one day.

aen did do a FANTASTIC job setting this beast up, and actually when i was messing around with the sustainer unit, i found it rather dull and un-apealing.
kinda like a one trick pony, the harmonic mode was fun, for about 2 mins, and then it became annoying. seems like it should do MOAR, but it doesn't, perhaps some more tinkering and messing about will prove usefull.

Nice work again, dooder.

I reckon that with a sustainer you can at least drop the E-bow have a free hand to do something else with, like DO AN MICHAELANGELO BATIOZ.

Here's the MASSIVE sustainer thread I was talking about (kinda skip to the end to see where people are at with their designs - there are other threads that have distilled the few variants into basic 'how-to' if you search around.

SUSTAINER BIG ONE

How to:

MAKE ONE. MAKE ONE NOAW.

Uuumm if sustainiac not so good maybe Dwarfcraft tech make better?

Definitely. I've never been much for these. Cool to see it on a Fernandes tele. I've got a strat by them that's pretty terrific.

Snap, I heard that Dwarfcraft puts Slow Gears in their guitars!

I see the pitch & on/off switch, ya gotta intensity control knob with it?

Sustainer w/out a tremolo, is like a pack of bottle rockets and no matches....
