Hello, just found out about this forum the other day while researching information about sustainers, came into the sustainer ideas thread by a search on yahoo... so much information in there, i read a big part of it, though' i'm not sure i understand how it works and all and now my eyes hurt from reading too much, this thread has been going on for so long, it's crazy.
Anyway, i'm looking into making a sustaining system in my guitar, I really love how my guitar looks and wouldn't want to change it in anyway, is there any way to have a sustainer under a cover plate over the pickups ?
I emailed fernandes and they told me that it was possible, but it will slightly affect the performance of the sustain, but that this can be rectified by simply adjusting the effect gain. But since you seem to have to use "their" pickups, i'm a bit reluctant as to do this.
So i went to the sustainiac website and read their information page, they say that putting a cover will not work with the sustainer because it will impair the sustain effect a by a great deal.
I really want to put a sustainer in my guitar without changing it's looks, does anyone know of any alternative, exept the ebow, or any solution to this ?
Thanks,
Francis.
