  • seriously, i think we all got it after :05

  • the most annoying thing EVAR!

  • its good but 1:20 of it starts to give me a fucking head ache!!

  • this is a useless vid...sustainer pu work as they are supposed to, nothing new here move along folks

  • sounds like a hoover on speed

  • thats sweet

  • Dude, I would seriously snatch that guitar away from you and stick it somewhere...SIDEWAYS!

  • tinitus!

  • Let me put this in a language you can understand: MORON-O :)

  • un pazzo compa!!!!

  • oh yeah...

    that perfect..

    Is it harmonic mode sunstanier ??

    but If I don´t have that guitar how kind of pedal have it?

  • these pickups are cool but i never play a note that long so kind of useless for me... unless you want to whammy abuse for as long as you want lol

  • How do you prov it's fernandes?

  • ah geez

  • This is exactly why I could NEVER work at Guitar Center.

    You'd read about me in the newspaper after I killed someone like this by beating them to death with the heaviest bass I could grab off the wall.

    He's an example of yet another moron who thought it would be rrrrealllly cool to smoke a fat joint in the parking lot and then go in to the store and pretend to be a musician.

  • Amigao.. sabe me dizer onde eu acho um Susteiner Fernandes pra comprar aki no Brasil?

  • @lostvip182 Difícil, hein... Aqui nesse país não tem nada que preste.

  • what type of guitar is that, thats beautiful

  • okay caralho essa merda funciona xD

    fooooooodasse!!

  • It's all about sustain not about music ;)

  • lol "youre killing me with that thing!" and "you got it. ok. no seriously stop"

  • stay out of musiac store

  • lol its cool, but if i was working in that store, i'd unplug you after 30secs

  • @BassPlayerED

    what an asshole

  • @BassPlayerED If I coud I will bit that guitar on head for that one not player!!!

  • to yysi: neck picks are the magnetic part of the sustainer, so you have to keep them,...anyway, they have an incredible sound 'cause are active pickups!!

  • its kinda anoying!!

  • The idea behind the sustainer is that you can do the held notes without it going too high and whiny, like here.

    It would have been a better example if he were further away from the amp

  • Hello, I wanted to see if we need to change at least one pickup by force or you can keep the originals .. you can help me?

  • Are those strings black from grime or by choice...

  • god thats soooo anoying :@

  • at the end " You got it" ROFL

    I think everyone in the store did

  • DAAAMN! me wants!

  • well it is a fernadez guitar you can tell by the shape its prob one of the only ones not to have a sustainer on it i.e. low end model

  • lol ya dude thats feedback lol you can tell 'cause your on the 12th fret of the g string and idk about you but it doesn't produce that pitch even with a pinch harmonic you can't get it that high there so ya its feedback i can do the same thing on my guitar

  • u can also tell its feedback because he doesnt have a Fernandes sustainer pickup in that guitar... lol

  • Are you trying to be funny or something? Because that's quite obviously a Fernandes Sustainer in the neck position...

  • It's not feedback. Check out the little logo in the corner of the neck pickup. That's the Sustainer logo. I can't explain why the switches can't be seen (the video isn't THAT grainy, they should be visible), but that logo is pretty easy to recognize.

  • feedback.

  • No, that doesnt make you want one. It does not do justice to the systems capabilities. I have quite a few vids that will show you what it can and what it is SUPPOSED to do.

  • I agree,Check myn out on my page,its actually on ebay right now.If I didnt have 3 more with the 401 kit id((never)) sell it.Best upgrade ever though you would never guess from this vid.This vid should be pulled because it just doesnt do these Fernandez kits justice.And below I have a sustainic and there is no comparison,the 401 kit has 3 modes and level adjustment..They are o.k. but still only pretenders to the throne of sustain Fernandez is the king of,lol..

  • HOW?

  • My dogs are barking. that doesnt make me want one. I have to go watch the other videos that make it look cool.

  • wow, awsome, that was fuckin cool man

  • You´re killing me with that thing over there!

  • hahahahahhaha

  • synyster gates use that sustainer kit for his Schecter

  • no he actually uses a sustainiac, but it is pretty much the same thing. i actually have the synyster custom and am installing a sustainiac exactly how he does. google sustainiac and it should be the first link

  • its really not anywhere near the same thing..

    but it still does the same thing.

  • Fernandes much better than any Schecter. I just sold a Hellraiser V1-FR. They're ok guitars but not worth some of the prices they actually go for, if it wasn't for all the endorsment they would never sell as many guitars just for their good quality or value, ever! Fernandes Rules.

  • cual es el precio de un sustainer asi? ese sustainer lo utiliza matt de MUSE

  • omg my ears!!! thats to friken high

  • ouch

  • my dog hates you

  • Sounds to me like your getting a shit load of feedback

  • I hear that Fernandes' guitars are cheapo korean-made things that are way overpriced and aren't worth buying.

  • you've been misinformed. I prefer my Fernandes over my Gibson les paul.

  • gotta love the Fernandes sustainer!! that thing will literally go forever.

  • I'm not sure how much it would be in your currency ... you do the math but it should be devided by 3.2 to convert to american dollars. Over here it's RM1700 (malaysian)

  • idiota de mierda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,porq­ue no te das un tiro en medio de los ojos,,,fucking beaner,,,,

  • OHMGUH

    calm down he was juist showin u sustain

  • i don think thats the fernandes sustainer....the fernandes sustainer has a switch for it to be on or off

  • Does he have to keep vibrating the string with his finger in order for it to ring? If he were to keep his finger still, would it still ring out just as long?

    Also, does anyone know how much it would cost to get one of these installed in a guitar that was built with EMG's?

  • no he's just adding vibrato and bends to make it less boring. it would prolly cost a lot to replace.

  • wow, those 2 guys are fucking idiots.

  • Perchè va in feedback?

  • my 1959 les paul, original has more sustain than that without a battery powered magnet

  • liar

  • That's impossible.  What kind of set up do you use?

  • that guitar and special strings ;)

    can't say

  • Sounds like you know less about the fernandes sustainer than I do.

  • although i love les pauls( they are my favorite guitar) that comment my friend, is complete bullshit

  • lol. yeah it would.

  • But my fender has that sustain!!!!!!!

    ...

  • sounds like my leaf blower.

  • These guys are laughing for they sell 20 meters of hair thin copper wire for 300bucks. Casio and Yamaha sell 88 key hammer graded action midi piano for about this price. It's really funny

  • Agreed stellar781, the manufactuers of pickups might have $5 in a pickup, maybe $5. Then turn around and sell it for over 10 times that.

  • Especially since I got the e-mail from Sustainiac saying that they've done it and it's possible. So you're wrong. Suck it. I don't NEED to show you anything. Fuckin wierdo... Like the absence of available video proof says all. You're fucked.

  • RIGHT ON!!! I'm actually a tech. at one of the main distributors in America...MDG in NJ...yeah...these guitars are only okay....and like...who want perpetual sustain anyway? I mean...you are just gonna move to another note anyway...why fucking sustain on ONE note for 5 minutes or until your 9 volt is bone dry...

  • I agree long notes are seldom used. The "with or without you" by U2 has very long playing notes (10-15 sec) in the intro, that some think are impossible to play without E-bow or sustainer. Hey, I discovered that if you use slow attach and +1 octave pitch shifter and pluck the string in sync with the beat you get almost identical sound without sustainer!

  • I mean slow attack, max of compression and double pitch, clean sound without distortion

  • And you are under the impression that I care about what you are asking. Go ahead and obsess over some wierd ass technicality like if a driver will sustain a low b. I'm pretty sure that if the string if fucking vibrating then it can be sustained. That is just common sense.

    Like I said, since you're so thick you must not understand english very well, "Give me a 5-string bass and a 5-string bass driver, and I'll show it to you." Otherwise you sound like a fuckin crazy-ass repeatedly asking for it.

  • thats not sustain, thats feedback from the amp

  • No, it's feedback from the Sustainer driver.

  • And another thing. FUCK THE FERNANDES SUSTAINER. IT'S JUST AN OLD SUSTAINIAC. Get that through your fuckin head.

    It's all Sustainiac. And sustainiacs are custom made. It's perfectly possible.

  • It's cool. I just e-mailed Alan at Sustainiac who custom winds his drivers and builds every single one of his kits from scratch. I asked him how well a 5 string driver would perform and if he's done it before.

    So in your grammar, "well see whos wrong N whos right, cuz if N E thing, this iza dumass argument :) zOMGz U no wat I meen?

  • Okay, I'll call you Shithead instead. That better you fuckin' hard-ass?

    Yeah, why don't you give me a 5 string, and a Sustainiac, and I'll put them together. Since you don't understand that I don't have a FUCKING 5 STRING FOR THE LAST TIME YOU INCREDIBLE DUMBSHIT. Quit trying to prove your dumbass point. based on the fact that you already know I don't have a 5 string bass and a spare sustainer to just throw in. God what a dumbass argument.

  • You are right about the bass thing, but I already knew that after reading the sustainiac website. It's hard to find, because they're rare, but google them, you might find a pic or two. Sustainiac makes bass sutainers on demand, but they don't make them ahead of time because not enough people order them.

  • Bro, listen. Why don't you tell steve vai he "doesn't need it" even though it's essential for some of his music. Or Van Halen? Or the guy from Pantera? You're saying they made a bad decision?

    1. It works fine on all strings, I dunno why you keep goin on about that.

    2. I don't want to have weird wires going through my guitar hooked up to an amp with no harmonic modes and a shitty looking homemade pickup. I would be happier paying for a nice looking product that pros endorse. You know?

  • Dude.lol you're hopeless. I don't have one. Why don't you ask someone who DOES! I'm retarded? Touche buddy.

  • What do you mean SHOW you? I don't have a Sustainiac to even put in the bass I don't own. If you knew what you were talking about (again) Sustainiac MAKES bass sustainers and bands have used them. RESEARCH, YOU FUCK. Don't make me point out everything. If the sustainer didn't work on the high-e string then it wouldn't sell. Period. I don't know why that isn't more obvious. Why do I need to prove it. If you could afford one, you would know. Need proof? Watch Steve Vai's Visual Sound Theories.

  • Whatever. I can derive from what you are saying that you don't even play guitar. Quit acting so confident. They're not underpowerd. They're OVERPOWERED if anything. Continue talking out your ass. I don't have to point it out to people. It's not my fault you can't shell out the dough. It's not THAT expensive. Your probably the kind of guy who would have to have it installed for you too, huh? Shut up.

    No. I nice PC is 150-200 dollars on ebay. What kind of fuckin' PC's are you buying?

  • You've seriously got to be REALLY broke if you prefer a DIY sustainer to a Fernandes, or even better than a Fernandes, a Sustainiac which performs and sounds better than the outdated Sustainiac design sold to Fernandes. Fernandes should revolutionize their board if they want it to be practical. The board is HUGE. The Sustainiac board pretty much fits anywhere without routing. It's nice. Take a look at their driver, much better than Fernandes. Don't judge sustainers by Fernandes, please.

  • Actually if you knew what you were talking about, you would know that the sustainer sustains every note across the fretboard. You know how I know? CAUSE I OWN ONE JACKASS!!!

    And good luck getting your shitty DIY sustainer to create 3 different harmonic modes(Sustainiac) AND being able to control the intensity of EACH ONE. AND being able to use push pull pots for all. It's not like I'm gonna pay someone to install it. I installed my own Fernandes.

    So uh, blow it out your ass please.

  • Yeah but it has to be made WELL to sound good. Otherwise you get occilation and wierd shit you don't want to hear. Just listen to the song "Open Minded Intro" and you'll know why these are cool.

  • Most important that it can not play chords, and sound is dull like my shaver, so it's more marketing buzz then any musical value

    It's simple osciltor, you can stay with mike close to speaker with the same effect

  • It can't sustain chords because you would have to use, in essence, six different sustainers for each individual string to continue to ring out.

  • i would grab a razorback and smash it through your forehead dude ...

  • You could use it for cool legato without the notes fading away

  • Why?? Unless you brag to your friends, hey man I can keep my note up ALL night long!!I just think its strange.

  • Here are some reasons I could think of:

    -Infinite Dime Squeal to take revenge upon your neighbors

    -Infinite Dime Squeals for a 3AM wake up call to anyone in your house

    -Can prove to be useful technique wise, that is if used right not 1:19 of an annoying sound.

  • Who cares if it's easy or not? And it's not lame, that's just your lame-ass opinion.

  • You're a dumbass. You have no idea how this thing worls or what it's for. RETARDO!

  • I have to agree, G.

  • Piss poor.

  • haha most of you are idiots. 1:19 of sustain? do you know what you can do with that? be fucking sweet thats what.

  • FERNANDES RULES!

  • because no one is a dick head like you. is not a stupid effect. loads of artists use it and if ur gunna call steve vai and matt bellamy stupid then ur truly are nob end

  • well excuse me sir u mentaly deficient peice of dickcheese but you please listen to that and tell me it doesnt sound stupid you cunt!!!!! its a monotonous annoying noise!!!!

    and ive never seen vai or twat bellamy play anything that annoying!!!! man i hate retards like you!!!! wer do you live sack breath??

  • Ye it might be vaguely irritating but all he is doingis proving how well it works. well how can u call me a retard you stupid peice of monkey spunk if u dont even know vai uses that effect. "twat bellamy" is a fucking great guitarist who you should have heard of but u might not hae because u r so obviusly a musicically deficient shit faced mutha-fucker. also im not gunna tell u where i live because i dont want a stupid ass licking cunt wipe like urself dirtying my street.

  • vagina

  • esta matando...simon

  • fuck, who the hell needs so much sustain

  • Seriously though

  • sounds like a vacum

  • Wow. You seem very informed... not. Fuckhead. I put in a sustainer MYSELF, and know for a fact that it works on every string perfectly. And what the fuck is a real note supposed to be? Are you a dumbass? That was the 5th harmonic note of the actual note he was playing. It's a mode of the sustainer. Conratulations for looking like a douchebag.

    And for fuck's sake throw in a fuckin' Y and say ANY. Not N E. What are you, 11?

  • It doesn't even matter you understood it right =

    It dusnt even matter u understood it rite

    but yeah hhe's a retard

  • lol your killin me with that thing over there!!!

  • sustain aint always good.....jimmy page never had sustain...his notes always fade out suddenly...and it sounds awesome...

  • LOl, i guess... you comment made me laugh so it's cool.

  • for fucks sakes,

    we know wot the fucking thing can do

    try playin the dman thing instead

  • didn't you read the tes bit?

  • For fuck's sakes, how about you sticking a fat cock in your mouth?

  • thts worst than playin stairway to heaven in a music store omg how is it possibl!?!

  • how much is it to get one of their sustainers installed?

  • I heard that the kit costs about $300 or so.

  • FUCK SOMEBODY SHUT OFF THAT GODFORESAKEN AMP ALREADY...and ban him from testing our sustainer systems...-Store Manager

  • its so high pitched and annoying

  • noob

  • I probably want one of these things so my guitar actually has a bit more sustain. That was slightly annoying, but I bet someone could arrange a song around that one note and it would be less ear bleeding.

  • steve vai uses one in some of his guitars.

  • steve vai, slash, robert trujillio, kerry king and a lot of other artists use that sustainer man! im getting one soon! :D

  • steve uses the fs 101,thats the 401,big differance,one being the 101 has 3 modes v.s the 2 modes the 401 has,and the 101 is a single coil driver thats much warmer than the double.also and bigest diff is the 101 has a blend knob,3 modes are mix,infanate sustain,and harmonic sustain,101 rocks...

  • sorry got that backwards,401,not 101,sorry bout that...

  • "sustainer TEST" ???? he really took one minute to understand that it really works?  RRROFL!

  • "your killin me with that thing over there!" lol

  • look at the happy cunt

  • lol. it looked like he was about to get kicked out lol

  • what a fucking kook dude...who the fuck does that

  • The sustainers are single coil on some. On my Dragonfly X I have a bridge single coil sustainer.

  • hah i love this vid

  • what are the pick ups called? if u used single coils , would you have to replace them all on your guitar? i dont know much about this

  • They're Fernandes Sustainers, I don't think it would work too well on single coils.

  • i want one of these so i can piss people off.

  • Thanks for making every dog in my building completely freak out.

  • im guessint it lets u sausatine the harmonic from the note?

  • id say it used feedback too, that how guitarists used to sustain noted by goin near the amp on a certain note the feedback would kinda mix with the note and hold forever ive doen it a couple of times

  • What is that Fly?...

  • no, its Fernandes Ravelle

  • hey, let's watch it again. it gets better every time...wooohoooooo

  • Marshall, can't beat em for sustain.

  • omg if tht guy did tht for liek an hour i would shoot him

  • i think every1 get the idea of the note sustaining 4 ever.

  • "the worst are those little kids who know a few cliched patterns and think they are cool"

    y2takerredmachine he has been playing guitar for years, he is a musician.

  • what??? i am not talking about the guy on your vid bro...i am talking about all those annoying brats at the music store that will crank up an amp and drown everyone out thinking they are cool

  • some little emo kid? plays horribly?

    Who the fuck is an emo? who the fuck is a kid? playing? isn't it clear he is fucking testing the guitar?

  • "if someone sucks bad enough"

    He doesn't suck he is just trying out the guitar. People should think before writing something.

  • krakhaid the guy who said "you are killing me with that thing over there" is our friend and most of the people in that store too.

    Besides he gave us that guitar, he knew my brother was going to do that.

  • Is this really a sustain?

  • Although those pickups are cool, seriously, I want to kill people who pull shit like this in music stores. If I'm going to be messing with a floyd to do some dime squeels, I turn my volume down, you should do the same for this, as this is just annoying sounding.

  • shut the fuck up

  • Tell me this sounds pleasant and I will.

  • i agree dude...i am the same too...the worst are those little kids who know a few cliched patterns and think they are cool and hook up to mesas or marshalls and drown everyone else out....there should be rules at the freaking guitar center!

  • Yes there should. I am getting to the point where if someone sucks bad enough, I will turn off the surge strip their amp is connected too. They don't know it's me, and it takes them five mintues to figure out the problem.

  • woow! good deal!...i will have to try that the next time some little emo kid plays horribly

  • chill out dude, everyone likes to mess around when they first start.

  • yes yes....there is nothing wrong with messin around....i am talkin when someone is messin around and doesn't allow you too because they are loud

  • no dude without the battery you cannot play the guitar!because all the pickups are connected to the Sustainer plot and the plot needs battery to work.....no battery ....no sound!it is complicated system but at the same time......wonderful!

  • there're some adaptaters .. cause battery could not cover a full concert

  • ok fuck all of you that say its not real sustain. this guitar is fucking amazing regardless. play it and find the fuck out.

  • Your brother is the guy that people in music stores, quite rightly, want to kill.

    That being said, I'm working with a friend on a prototype Bass Sustainer. Pete Steele, watch out.

  • haha, awesome

  • es un efecto o es la pastilla? si es la pastilla, hay single coil sustain?

  • i have Asi Sustainiac =D
