Lets talk sustainer...

there are also some good examples of Vai using sustainer with whammy...
got to search for it

Alternative Products (how good are they?)
1. E-Bow
2. Boss DF-2, GT-6/8(Feedbacker) etc
3. Line6 Dr. Distorto(FDBK-Sus/Oct)
4. Korg's PX-4D(Feedbk 1,2,3 or 4) etc
5. http://www.sustainiac.com/

If you are to get a sustainer, would you get
1. The Kit and convert one of your guitar or
2. Sustainer equiped Guitar? Beside Fernandes, what other brands?
e.g. Kramer - http://www.musicyo.com/featured_product/us/fp319.asp

Prob a kit, the only sustainer equipped guitar I would purchase is the Jackson PC-1. And that costs my arm and leg, plus my two cats.

If its the kit, I would consider the Sustainiac kit, people have mentioned its good, just as good as the fernandas one, but small in size. Plus, I'll get the single coil size one, so I can retain a single coil in the neck.

The Jackson PC-1 has the, well, Jackson sustainer.

But in anycase, I wouldn't get a sustainer... lose the neck pup position. The neck pup tone of the Fernandes sustainer is quite.. boring.

Steve Vai has many guitars, so he had one maybe more "Sustainised"

not sure how those alternatives measure up?
has anyone done a comparism?

Yeap, Vai has a few with sustainers, notable Bad Horsie and I think.. Flo.

Abt your products,
1 & 5 = real sustain, they generate string movement
2, 3, & 4 = "fake" sustain... the strings still slowly stop moving, nothing moves them, its jsut a butt load of compression/gain that ups the volume of the dying signal so there's "sustain".

Note, the Boss DF-2 is different ah... the pedal feedbacks 1 pre-set note. Thats it. When you step and hold, the preset note comes out, step off, shuts off.

A Big Muff has a buttload of sustain.
