- ** 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.
*** ATTENTION! Since making this original video, I have received many complaints about a lack of customer support for this product. Please watch my update video here about this: • I CHANGED MY MIND abou...

HEY GUYS, I think the company website crashed because of the big jump in traffic. I've put some alternate links and contact info in the video description, with examples of their work.
Does it work directly with the amp with out any effect pedal?
Yes, @@chronox2 when powered on it is a feedback loop and physically vibrates the strings. Connect the guitar as usual.
@@timothyback4235 im trying to figure out mine.
I need one of these .... atleast for now
the site you listed is back to normal. I'm a Veyz Sustainer customer from America Texas Maxx 👍
You need to put a sustainer on your Harley Benton custom 💯
Lmao Bruh … 😂 yeah tell him
@@demayoexperience LOL I wasn't doubting it bro I just think it what sound pretty cool when focusing on instrumentals
I bought a Kramer Sustainer in 1989. I still have it.........I still love it...........and the built in Sustainer, is just pure genius. It`s the best guitar I`ve ever played, and I`ve played them all.
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. ;)
Sustainiac and Fernandez Sustainers are the same exact product. These are knockoffs.
@@justinvzu01 I'm pretty sure that 99.99% of the people viewing this already know that. I'm simply thanking Max for the review.
I was hyped to get one for years and it works even better than I hoped.
So cool you can plug a jack or headphone amp in and it still works acoustically.
Game changer
So is there a difference in quality between the 2 of them? Which one would you recommend?
How's the Fernandes, regardless of the sustainer? They're all Robert Fripp plays - tricked out the whazoo, of course...
That’s awesome. It sounds like you’re playing in reverse when you use the delay. Such a cool awesome thing I need to get one to put in my Jackson.
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. 🙂
I just ordered my RR JS32 the other day. It's oddly satisfying to see one, out of the blue, on a channel that I've been watching for months. Really enjoy the content, Max.
Boring.
The Fernandes Sustainer has been available in Fernandes guitars for decades. Can be ordered from Japan or a lot of them on Reverb.
you are one of the most talented guitar players I've seen in years. keep it up
Wow, thanks!
@@GuitarMAXMusic its nice to get your Ego stroked once in a while huh lol
@@mannyfragoza9652 Manny your playing has helped through hard times.thank you.
@@Stylus1 wow thats a great complement. Thank you so much.
I love this. For a room setup, I got tired of batteries, so I wired a variable power supply (VPS) into the battery port. No more batteries. You also want to be sure the VPS is hooked into a power conditioner like a furman to reduce any outside noise.
Years ago I got a Kramer Baretta that has a sustainer. I got it from MusicYo back in the early 2000s for $400. My sustainer also has an "Intensity" knob for better mixing of the effect.
I also have one of these Baretta's, was not easy to get back then. Very easy to play Vai's "Whispering a Prayer" on these.
@@billburns2915 I bought a few of the Strikers from MusicYo. They were only around $180-$220 depending on pickup configuration and bridge setup. I always got the H-S-H with the Floyds. I had a nice Candy Apple Red and the Black & White Crackle. I still have my white one with the Red & Black "Splatter" paint. They all came with the EVH D-Tuna. I also bought a white Steinberger Spirit GU Deluxe for $230. Had I known MusicYo was going to shut down, I would have bought more of those and the Barettas w/sustainers. Prices for the Spirit GU series are insane these days. If you can even find one.
@@billburns2915 great song. got a vid of you playing? that would be cool!
I have a Kramer V that’s looks similar to the Jackson in this video, only the headstock looks like a hockey stick, unfortunately. I got it from Musicyo for something like $300. Then I put KFK EMG’s in it.
Hey, Max you are the proof about nothing is more important to practice to become a great guitarist. I remember I stopped being a guitar snob the day I discovered your channel and saw you playing awesome well on a guitar that most of the people at that time used to say is a crappy brand guitar. I am awaiting my HB Guitar Max to arrive and am trying to keep practicing to play better day by day.
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!
Ed O'brien, as in Winston Smith from 1984, and Vic Pardo from White Heat movie fame?? 😊
@@spookybaba Um...no...
@@texanfournow Radiohead maybe???
@@edwardmorford2202 Yep
Great guitars! One of the best value guitars for your money under $1,500 USD!
That was a fantastic opening. Been watching for 3 yrs now
Thank you!
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!
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 want a Sustaniac soo bad. Absolutely love the tone and features.
I laughed at the 90's website joke. If Sustainiacs website didn't suck so much i would have bought some. I have a Schecter with one and its a lot of fun. This is huge i've been waiting for these thanks man!
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.
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.
Nightfall in Middle Earth shirt! Well done Max!!
I saw Vai play recently and I was blown away by it. later that night I decided I wanted one... still do. ☺️🤘
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!
I ordered from Sustainiac last year and had it installed on my JP6. Works wonderfully. Yes, the site is a bit dated, but the process was still pretty simple.
Max this is the best news I've heard about a sustain system... cool.. and ty
i learn something today, the beginning play which remind me DEF LEPPARD back to the 80s. thanks Max.
i have an original Fernandez sustainer from 15yrs ago LOVE IT !!
this is nice.... but bruh....... you should have done the whole install process video.... that what have been a huge help
Follow factory diagrams. The diagrams they get me were a mess. I ultimately had to multimeter it and cross reference with a fender switch pin out.
Gonna' consider this system. Awesome video as always, you deserve more subscribers!!
a great sustainer and a floyd are hours of pure bliss when put in front of a Marshall and delay!
Phil collen has these on all his guitars . His tone is awsome 💯
Killer tone indeed Phil Collin has them on most of his Jacksons defines his great tone! love the Jackson and the mods you did to it 👀 proof you don't need to spend big money on a guitar to make it great, you can play!🙏🤘 🔊⛓🦇
He used them on his records with Genesis.
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!
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.
@@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!
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!
@@robertellstrom9938******* I too have a Freq-out and a Lespaul 7 with a sustainer, however Lespaul is hard to get to at the moment. I have wanted to both hear and experiment with the COMBINED Freq-out with a p.u. Sustainer System!! I have toyed getting a Veyez Sus Syst for awhile now. IF They are as good as being presented I would Put These systems in at least 4 of my guitars and also deciding if I should install one in my Donner HushX Travel 6!!********
Anyone put these in a Travel Guitar??? I've already done about 4 Mods to this Donner thing.
What do you mean, Max? It's ALWAYS worth watching your videos!
I too have flirted with finding sustainer pickups and discovered there aren't really any available retail. This is great news and I'm going to look into them. Great intro demo btw. Edit: I guess I need to be a registered Instagram member to look at their products. Bummer
Man that track and solo was so 80's. so Def Leppard-esque!
Wow man this is such an amazing sustainer pickup you’ve added to your guitar I love it. Shred on dude.😃👍❤️🔥⚡️🎶🎸
Great vid!! Really appreciate your ability to speak plain english. It really helps amateurs like me. Thank you!
Finally? Sustainers have been available since the '80s and yes you could get them in your guitar.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Definitely gonna look into this.
Just ordered one. I'm in the uk and only cost me £80
Thanks for the vid! Keep on rockin' 🤘
The real winner here is that Blind Guardian T-shirt 👌
I had actually years of wanting the same configuration LOL THANKS!
Love my Sustainiac, I have 4 Schecter guitars 1 of them is a C1FR Platinum with a Sustainiac and a Floyd Rose. Mine has 2 toggles like yours, 1 for on/off the others is an octave switch with 3 settings regular octave you're on and 2 more higher. If you record there is so many things you can do with this, the possibilities are endless. You can get organ sounds/Hammond B3 type.. your cello sounds we have been doing with the volume knob for so long .. just got easier. Sitting down with one by yourself just exploring makes your creative self come to life.. they are incredible. Once you have one you will always find a use for it , bottom line it's a must have. Thanks Max .. Rock On People
all u need now is a fishman fluence rechargeable battery pack. i'll be installing on my C-1 FRS no more batteries or loose wires
@@onecrazyhopi Batteries last a long time in it .. never been a problem to put in a new battery, which is easier than recharging, in fact you only have to do it 3 or 4 times a year. Maybe less depends on how much you use it. I have more than 25 guitars and I play them all, the Sustainiac is used for specific things so compared to some of my Strats, Les Pauls and other Schecters it really doesn't get much play time compared to them. Tc bro God Bless
@@BillnYou1 I wish mine did. But I play mine a lot usually at least 2-3 hrs a day. I just ordered some new rechargeable ones for my other single battery schecter and main reason I'm going with Fishman is I have 1 wire come loose re solder and it it will come loose after a few battery changes. Replaced the whole battery holder with new one from Schecter same issue. Even we switched it around did sane thing. But just a suggestion. Have a good day Happy Easter
@@onecrazyhopi I see, that's a bummer, and sounds like you have a good solution. I don't have any wires that show, mine has 2 doors that open and I just drop 2 new ones in, close the doors and I'm ready to roll. Thanks for the info if I ever have that issue, now I'll know what to do.. Thanks Bro Take Care
Thanks for sharing this. This system looks amazing.
Been seeking such a system for years.
Glad I ran across your channel. You intelligently describe the topic and ... I see a sustainer in my near future!
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.
Awesome! I am totally going to build a parts superstrat and put this box of tricks in it. Thank you Max!
🤘🏻😎🎸
I see they have a Hot Rail version. Going to order one myself.
Great video Max💯well explained as always, keep it up...you're the influence of many here🤘🏻
Hello and thank you for the video 👍
I own a Fernandes Retrorocket Elite guitar with a 3 mode sustainer (normal, harmonic and harmonic mix) 🤗
The sound is very good for gothic style music, thats the one I play.
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 😅😅
the sustaniac pickup is a lot of fun to play.
Max thank you very much for the useful information! I ordered one of these sustainers. The manufacturer even made a good discount.
I will try to install this in my Steinberger Spirit.
Dude! I was waiting for this too! Woot wootThank you MAX! 🤘
Now you can blow on the string to create a harmonic to amaze people 😲
Can't wait to order mine I have an old original Sustainiac guitar from a long time ago
Max get some white nail polish from your wife to touch up the paint.
Maybe he'll get some from your wife. Sorry not sorry
Or some plastic model paint, kind of depends on what the plastic is.
Everything after 12:29 (eyes glued to tiny speck on white sustainer coil) "MOLEY,MOLEY,MOLEY,MOLEY...!" Lol. J/k. You'd never notice if you didn't know it was there.
Nail polish has always been guitar touch up paint. I've taken a guitar to a beauty supply store before.
Car touch of paint works great also. Even has clear coat. If you can find the exact color it's impossible to see
That thing is great! Thanks for the info. Product link is broken though so what’s the point.
I used build and test the roundelay sustainers in the PC-1 by Jackson, they are the best ever made IMO
The Jackson PC Sustainor is the old Floyd Rose Sustainor,right?….I know they run on two 9 volt batteries…..Can you buy one of those?
@@scottpeters4401 Yeah, thats the one, I am not sure you can, I have a few myself but they were rejects for a reason, I cannabalized to have a couple working. Floyd Rose and Rick Knotts of the band Rail
@@idiotburns I had 2 PC1’s several years ago…I lost both in a fire…I loved those Sustainor’s…I read somewhere that Phil liked the old Floyd Rose one,so that’s what they used ….you don’t see any 18 volt Sustainor’s on the market..I don’t know if there is a difference between the 9 and 18 volt ones,since they all pretty much work the same way…..
Sustainiac sells their system as an aftermarket upgrade though, You just have to get a dealer. But its cool that there are new options on the market.
Agreed maxx, I swapped out my Jackson bridge for a schaller lockmeister, was totally worth it. Came with a 32mm brass block too. Stays in tune a lot better and swapped the humbuckers for dimarzio Evo 2 bridge and Evo neck. Middle pickup damaged a few months ago and got a warman middle pickup. Really compliments the humbuckers. Will look into this sustainer system when I have the cash.
Black n red is my favorite combination
I have a question: does the sustainer act like a normal humbucking pickup when the sustainer switch is off? Or are you losing a pickup position in the bargain?
It depends on your order, you can order just the sustainer or humbucker and sustainer or even single and sustainer
LOL! Fernandes had them for over 20 years. 401 Kits are still available.
Man, this Indonesian brand is a counterfeit of Sustainer and Sustainiac. They approached me as well. It shouldn’t be promoted, even if it sees to work well at first glance.
Also, like those kind of “brands” they create dozens of profiles on social medias to spam their products on groups and people who like Satriani of Vai. Of course, I’m at you disposal to give you further information. I’m easy to find on social medias. Cheers
Thanks for this Video... I am also looking for another sustainer system. I have a Kramer Baretta that has one and Sustainaic systems are FAR complicated to even order and this system is by FAR easier. Loyal watcher for years. Many thanks.
hello sir, maybe you are also interested in ordering a Sustainer pickup like what max uses, You can directly contact the following Instagram @amsproduct.id
🔥🔥
I was waiting for you to make a Nigel Tuffnel/Spinal Tap reference regarding the sustain. Still a good video, glad to see that there is a company that is making this to specs.
I have 4 of these , they work well .
Really nice guy to deal with .
So when you have a sustainer in the neck do you lose that as a pickup? What happens when you put the pickup selector in the neck position with a sustainer in the neck position?
Depending on the model you get , some have a pickup attached ,some don't .I personally now prefer getting a single coil size and mounting a single coil pickup next to it .
@@stevedurrant8815 oh. Thank you
I built my first sustainer system in 1982. Tried to patent it and found that “heet” of elbow fame had also patented an onboard device. I buy them now.
i use 9.6 volt NIHM pack which is for a r/c , it lives in my strap . it is fused . it has a 90 2.1 dc connector . the guitar has an additional 2.1mm dc port one inch above the side 1/4 output . i have been doing this for many years . you can also use an xlr cable and run the 9 volts thru the third wire , use a 90 1/4 inch connector and run the wire with the 9 volts out of the end of this 90 , to a 2.1mm dc connector . then you can install a 7809 v-reg in your amp and front panel mount the dc port . thats another way i used to do it . i never had interference. i have two fernandes sustainer guitars but i hurt my back so i play headless stienberger spirit . i would love to get a lighter guitar that is equipped with a sustainer . like my spirit . you could just send me that jackson , that would be a nice gesture max . thanks in advance ! super cool !! we live in n apartment and we do a lot of headphone jamming with the family band and now the duo . using the sustainer system gave me "feedback" . which i used it a lot for years i loved my sustainers and i rarely shut them off ! it was ok as i dont use a 9 volt cell i use nihm battery pack .
I was thinking of ordering one of these for my Stratocaster. Since the bridge pup on a Stratocaster sucks anyways I was thinking of getting a single coil version and putting it there. Would be cool for some blues...
I just received my Ibanez prestige like a month and a half ago and it has fluence moderns and with a little reverb and gain they sustain almost as good as that sustainer lol.
cool guitar man and great video. If you're ever in Madison Heights we should jam some time....
Thanks Max, I've been searching for this for years as well.
Does it still require a giant control cavity? Or is it a little smaller than the sustainiac setup?
I'm about to install mine
Hey bro me and a friend ordered 3 ($100 each + 30 shipping) he got a single coil, I got a humbucker and a single coil... (only took about a week to get them ... we are east coast) I do have a couple Fernandes guitars with Sustainers and yes these work but nowhere as good but they are also so $400 cheaper. also if you switch the pickup selector while it's on you get crazy squealing and there is only 2 modes even though he advertises 3 (UPDATE: I saw in the description on their ebay listing that the "MIX mode was with system on and neck PU selected) It will work when the neck pickup is selected but sounds darker and the drive pickup when system is off sounds a bit darker and not as good as the ceramic pickup that was there. I put in the single coil last night and well it works but you get what you pay for, I am hoping the humbucker will be better since the magnet seems much stronger I say that cause I had to get the pickups closer to get it to work better. If you can't shell out $500 for the Sustainer or $350 for a Sustainiac then get this one .
Thanks for the report!
I just talked to Tony there, he was super helpful. Can’t wait to receive my pickup! You’ve got a great channel going here man, Kudos!
Really?
The Fender EOB Stratocaster has a sustainer in the neck position. EOB is for Ed O'Brien from Radiohead.
That Rhoades guitar is super sweet.
I just got in the mail My custom single coil driver from Tony. It's going in my Charvel DK24 and will be complementing My bare knuckle pickups.
Finally a review I trust on this kit!!!
That's kinda cemented my decision to buy one now 😅
Awesome! I am currently working with this company as well! Happy to see your video about them🤘🏼
You are "Working" with the existing company?
Bullshit.
I bought one of these a while back. Overall its a good alternative if you don't use the neck pickup.
The driver can't actually act as a pickup, and that's something I wish I'd known before buying. The polarity of the other pickups in the guitar before you add the system is something to note as well. If you add it in the wrong orientation than the driver and the pickup cancel out and it does nothing but squeal uncontrollably.
During the installation process I was sent a wiring diagram that didn't match the harness, so I changed the harness to match the diagram like an idiot. I fixed it and installed it without much hassle.
It didn't help that I live in the us and they are made in Indonesia, because the only time they would answer my messages about questions was at 3am. Time zones suck.😂
Digitech makes a freqout pedal that does the same thing,plus you can adjust the frequency of the feedback either higher or lower,imo a much better option
The sustainer has INFINITE sustain, it isn't a gain booster, so a pedal can't do that, because you need something that make the string vibrate. The sustainer pickup has a coil that induces vibration to the strings, it's a physical thing, not electronical.
@@AzathothsAlarmClock I see. But again, isn’t the same!!
@@JaviBello lMFAO,that analogy is fn ridiculous
@@tommilitello198 sample and hold is not the same. The sustainer induces vibration to the strings with an electromagnetic field. It’s a physical effect.
@@JaviBello if it’s physical it wouldn’t be in a guitar pickup and could be used on an acoustic without plugging it in
Il have to check this out.
Been dying to get a Sustainiac for for years and got one recently on my schecter apocalypse.
Its actually better than I thought it would be and I had alot of hype for it.
I Have Schecter Reaper-6 FR-S - Satin Charcoal Burst.. Loving It..
Need this!!!
I have a Schecter with one of these in it and it's sweet
Excellent! Now I can play Def Leppard tunes they way they should sound.
That Jackson got even cooler 😎
I've got a white jackson RR with black stripes. I swapped in 2 golden seymour duncan blackouts active Pickups. Its a beast! (Cavity is quite little)
I have an old original Fernandes from the eighties . Great guitar. I bougt it a log time ago. Mainly to do all brad gillis speak of the devil live. And night ranger.....its annawesome device . I always looked for a sustainer. And could not find an after market
Great and informative video, I have been looking for one of these forever as well. I may have to order one now.
Parker Fly Mojo delivers the goods with their sustainiac. A total Ferrari of guitars.
Thanks for the video and pointer to this system. My Jackson PC-1 is my main guitar and I use the sustainer in it all the time. It also works as a neck pickup. So I am curious if their single coil option also works this way? Like others have noticed, their website has cool pictures, but not a lot of information. To those that have already ordered one, what is the process, just email them?
Just got my unit in the mail, but it does't include a wiring diagram. Can anyone that has already installed one, please share the wiring diagram they used?
I love sustainers as well!
Great video, Thanks for the information. I'm planning on getting one for my fender strat. Nice playing.
Have been hoping for something like this. Tired of searching my area for a sustainiac equipped guitar.
I think the solution needs to be better. Perhaps built into the neck somehow as it needs to be as far from the bridge pickup as possible. Maybe the 12th fret of your fretboard could be a sustainer, that way you can keep your favourite neck pickup where you want it.
Thank you fore this info, I have the original dino version Sustainiac and it is bulky as all getout! Nice that there is another company continuing on with these!
I don't care what anybody says, I love the gold trem!
Max, I watched this video about one month back and I was very impressed with the Veyz! So I ordered one from Thailand. To my surprise, it arrived in around two weeks. But, It came without any schematics so I had to contact them through Reverb and request one. Communication was somewhat difficult and after a few back and forth, they sent me a schematic. The schematic doesn't make sense. It has a red wire coming from the sustainer amp that doesn't exist on my unit. The battery is wired differently from my harness. DO ANY OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS KNOW A SOURCE FOR A GOOD SCHEMATIC? The guitar I'm modding is the same set up that Max is using in the video: Two Humbuckers, 1 vol, 1 tone, and a Tele style 3-way switch. Before anyone comments, I know how to read schematics and I have been modding my own guitars since high school (1972 ughh). Thanks in advance!
I have bad experience for the neck pickup tone from Veyz Sustainer.
