Hi guys,

Was looking through the web for guitars and i came across Fernandes. Read about the substainer, was quite impressed. I tried a bunny at Yamaha once, it was the yellow mockingbird with hearts (no, not the minature one). The actual one. It was no doubt, the best guitar i played. Cost around S$2.4k. The substain was really unlimited at tat point.

Can anyone tell me if Bunny guitars come with Fernandes substainers? What do you guys think about the substainer and where can i get them?

Thanks alot :D
 
bunny guitars if i'm not wrong are the guitars of the late guitarsit of x japan, hide. er yeah, they are pretty nice playing guitars and yeah you can get the sustainers but i'm not sure where tho.
 
yes its BURNY. the yellow heart is the artist series of the late xjapan guitarist, hide.

you can try out fernandes ravelle series, i believe yamaha have it. they spots a sustainer pickup too.
 
oh thanks, sorry i never really looked. The font made it look like bunny hehe. My bad. So is it really efficient? Worth the buck?
 
sustainer.. actually you dont need that to get endless sustain. playing loud and standing in the right position on stage can give you that endless sustained/feedback also.
 
dont mind me asking. why do you need the sustainer? do you really need 20 seconds of sustain? if im not wrong you gotta take off quite abit of wood for te sustainer, changing your tone.
 
i dont know, its just when ur playing slow songs with few notes at a time. The notes tend to die off quite fast when you dont want them to. So yeah..just considering. Anyone know where to get and how much?
 
Look at using the sustainer OUT of the BOX of just sustaining a note forever.

It has a harmonics control.... It allows you to do endless legato runs without tiring out.... etc etc

Look at Vai. He doesn't use it JUST for sustaining ONLY...

Midnight, if you are just getting a sustainer for the reason below... well... it would be a shame wouldn't it? How often do you play slow songs? How often does your slow song have solos that are so drawn out, your notes die off? Also... if you are getting the system to retrofit on your guitar (Plaza Sing music plaza has a unit) then have you thought about the routing? The cost? The wiring? You will lose your neck humbucker too - again, listen to Vai when he plays with his Sustainer equipped JEM, the neck tone is just so different.

If you still want to get it, check out Sustainiac. Smaller system.
