Sustainer

[Jiro]

What exactly is a sustainer? Is it some device that sustains a note on a guitar?

Sorry for the very noobish question

sustainer is a device that loops the disturbance in the magnetic field from the pickup to the string, so when u fret a note and play it, it just keeps ringing.

edit: im not sure whether its a device or what, maybe you want to check out fernandes website? they invented sustainer and its explained how it works.
