    To clarify what I said in the video, the company that installed it didn't suck. They just took way too long and cost too much. The first company I tried to have it installed by was the one that sucked. They held my guitar for a week, didn't touch it and then got an attitude with me for saying I wanted it back.
    To the hundreds of people who have asked how to buy it: there's an interesting little website out there called Google. The first search result for "sustainiac" is the official website. I'll let you figure it out from there.

    Thanks Sean. Without this demo I would have guessed the Invader was too death metal for me.I like "heavey modern" rock but I also like blues, clean, and classic rock (AC/DC, etc)
    Thanks for taking the time to do this! Cheers!

      RJ Maksym Not at all. Les Pauls have been known to have crazy sustain, and Gary knew where to stand to get the most sustain in relation to his amp. That's a perk of playing at super loud volumes.

    Why is there so much hate in the comments? I came here to learn about the Sustainiac and got what I was looking for. If you think you have a better guitar or you can make a better video, then buy a Sustaniac and make your own video. Until then, STFU and appreciate the time this guy took to make the video and help others. I publish drone tech videos on my other channel and it takes a lot of work to script them, set them up, get the lighting right, shoot them, do re-takes, edit them and then put yourself out there for people to make ignorant comments. Give the guy some respect.

    I got the black/silver Synyster Gates Schecter off guitar center that has the sustainiac in it and it is such an amazing feature. It really makes harmonics scream and the fundamental mode is the most helpful thing ever when you need to hold a note for a while. Love it and wouldn't trade it for anything.

    I put a new one too think that might of been the problem but it wasn't it they said that they just installed it the way sustainiac shipped it out to them. They're gonna call sustainiac and ask what they are suppose to do to fix this problem. Your video will help out a lot cause they said they've never seen a pickup like this so obviously they don't know how and what it's suppose to do. Thanks for making the video!

I have a £250 guitar which is currently my main one as I've only been playing a few months although I would love to deck it out in future with some better pickups, a Floyd Rose and locking nut and tuners and this sustainic pickup and I'll probably find more I'd love to add.

    Nice demo. I'm glad you caught the 'neck pickup trebly sound' mistake, and the last thing you said was hilarious. I have just installed a sustainiac for a customer, as well as a Graph Tech Midi and Acoustiphonic pre-amps. Still trying to work out a few bugs - combining three different pickup systems is not easy.

    I don't see why there's so much hate in the comments, I mean, this was quite a good review. I didn't know at all how Sustainiac system worked and now I do, isn't that the reason why we all came here in the first place?
    Also, what's the problem with he showing his face? He's fucking talking to the camera, I don't get what's wrong about showing his face, and he actually shows the guitar when he has to, so, is really that bad?
    Anyway, thank you for uploading this video, it helped me and I'm sure it helped a lot more people :)

    I bought mine from a different website before it was available on Amazon.com a couple years ago. This guitar simply looks and sounds amazing. The Duncan Invaders provide that Synyster sound that you are looking for. It is extremely comfortable to play with the jumbo frets. The only con about this guitar is that the gold finish on the knobs that your strap attaches to wear down to silver over time.

    And also, ordering it from the website isnt really that hard, you just go there and fill in your billing info(credit card) and address and they'll send it to you.
    And btw, there is a new Schecter Synyster Custom-S coming in January 2012, it has the Sustainiac already installed! Cause installing one into a guitar will decrease the value of the guitar by half because of the cutting and drilling, But not on the new Custom-S since its factory done

  • @Samus5164

    It is NOT feedback, it's basically doing what an ebow would do. It makes the string resonate, like he said, until the battery dies.

    Question: I've been thinking about getting the Sustainiac installed in my old Ibanez guitar. It currently has a Seymour Duncan pickup (Holdsy model) in the bridge. If I get the Sustainiac installed in the neck position, do I still get to use my Holdsy in the bridge? Obviously, I'm going to want every feature I can get on the Sustainiac & will need those switches installed. Thanks for any inputs.

Thanks a lot for this review, best on youtube so far, btw. Finally someone who bothers showing how it actually works, which is really important, because now I see it totally different. Before, I though "I'm gonna buy the custom simple one, what's the huge deal about the sustainiac?". But it actually makes a huge difference :D

    Years ago I use to get guitar player magazine and they came with a little plastic record of the hottest players and demos of new devises. this had to be about 15 years ago. one of the records was a demonstration of the Sustainiac not sure but I think it worked differently. what I mean is that it was more of an vibrating unit on the head of the guitar.

    You can buy it from either their website, or ask your local music store to buy them for you, and just let them install it. You can also install it yourself, but the thing is that you need to drill in the guitar, so yeah, i would recomment you to give it to a music store to do it for you!

However i have found that it is difficult to find in White. The most common colors are black and tan but it comes in like 8 colors.
