nice sustainer concept

[avdekan]

This has just been brought to my attension:

aside from the insane price tag and the moogish synth, the idea of having an unsustainer to make the guitar a staccato monster makes me want to run naked on the streets shouting "eureka"  :lol:

do you know of anyone that can make such a sustainer?
I want one so bad...

It's interesting to say the least (pug ugly though) but if it works it would be so good in the right hands

Seems to be like a Fernandes cos it needs both pickups on to work
I guess it could be using a hex driver in the neck pickup though in theory you could use piezo crystals to drive strings (but the bridge is such a bad position to power the string from)

What real interests me is why it states that the design MUST have a set neck

I wonder what the patent numbers are as they are available for examination by interested parties

check out sustaniac pickups, similar concept

I don't think it is that bad, but the control "panel" is a bit odd.  I think the tigereye flame looks quite nice.  My only problem with it is the price.  I could buy a tricked out Feline and a really nice tube amp for that price.  So in the end, Moog Guitar = Fail.
