Home made fretless guitar and sustainer

[MrVader4000]

Hi .

Is it possible to have blueprint of this sustainer..

[mke31]

i would like to make somthing like this for a lil hobby myself if you care to share please email me back...

[Cerpth]

What's that song you playing?

[songoku7100]

hello! Can you help me to build a similar sustain sistem?

[richardrdenisii]

Question: I noticed you have the sustainer mounted over the neck pickup. Does this influence the sound of the neck pickup, as it's magnetic field is being greatly increased? Also, do you feel it gets in the way of your playing? And finally, why is there distortion between certain slides, as if the guitar is reading two different notes at the same time?

[ZeroxngxadrenaliN]

hello im rafael from the Philippines a system like can you show me how to make it send me blueprint here is my email address jrvrico@yahoo.com im a person who cant afford a sustainer show me how to make one pls and thankyou

[Tmontana92]

Hey man you made a great job!!!

Can you help me to build a similar sustain sistem?

I have a few question :

I read somewhere that a good Driver pickup has to be 8k of output , how much is yours?

The circuit that you use is a kind of preamp that runs on 9v battery?

[IEntertainers]

it has a bit of an annoying buzz

[poplepo3]

parts where you use sustain in this vid sounds like chubacka moaning

[VanceMcGrady]

@poplepo3 your mother sounded like chubacka moaning when i had violent anal sex with her

[Songsremainthesame]

sucks

[handmajor]

infinite sustainer almost sounds like cheating...... :0

[frozenfarm]

that sounds sweet, hows it made?

[acousticMiles9]

sounds like an a7x song

[atypicalmystery]

I need a fretless guitar. Lately I've been using delay effects and finger tapping to get my guitar to sound like a synthesizer. Having a fretless would open up so many more doors.

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

So could you make a video on about the sustainer, just to see and learn more about, and its pretty nice for a homemade, but you have to fix that hum.

[micp4130]

pretty cool, but it's an awful hum that sustainer has...

[TheTrooper80]

hehe amazing dude

[rrhodes1980]

brompton cocktail by avenged sevenfold...i know that wasnt your intention but that was fucking it!

[fezthecat1]

buzzzzz, but i kid. i'm doing something similar

[theamazingzivmaster]

does the sustainer have some sort of violin bow thing what keeps going back and forth to make the sound?

[guns1rose]

its like an ebow. its magnetic.

[iamarse]

Sounds shit.

[jeffreycollins]

I would just like to know why didn't you put the pickup back in it's slot into the guitar instead of having it above the strings, getting in the way of playing.

[apsinthion]

god awful

[XxJesusChristRulesxX]

i wanna play it :(

[jamagica]

sounds like those west coast hip hop synths

[NapoleanXV]

could you put up a sustainer tutorial?

[kisftw]

how u make sustainer?

[thatdude2212]

a sitar?

haha

 you kidding me?

[vulta01]

wtf

[sb6lb3]

whats the point of fretless?

[Voimajorma]

You wont need a slide to slide.

[kapalen]

whole different kind of tone

[ratxinxaxcage67]

youre not limited to a twelve tone system (such as the notes A,B,C,D, etc...) and you can play microtones.

[tragictravistie]

and with a sustainer you can play violin lines

[rsscammer]

i wanna make a unique guitar of my own

[skok65]

That's really cool! Does your device work like an ebow?

[cscarp4503]

well i have seen some comment on this vid and didn't hold back at all. i for one am in no way tryin to be a dick but that did sound quite aweful.

[kaffeinsuchtiger]

The point is that he is demonstrating a sustainer pickup...

[williestratton]

that would be wicked for psychedelica

[StonedTortoise]

ain't that bad

[BuCk3Th34D411]

cool! how did u make the infinite sustain thing tho? Id really like to know, I could use one of those... :)

[LeviMan2001]

is it pretty much an amp going through a pickup over the strings instead of a speaker?

[LeviMan2001]

your just jealous.

[haselnuzz123]

my ibanez sounds better xD

i dont like it

sry champ...

[cugoman]

what a shit sound is this man ? come oooon

[jeesh123]

hahha yeah

[tractorbooty15]

Hi, I have an old Les Paul and would love to put one of these sustain units in it. Do you have any schematics for building one?

[punkiej999]

smash it its awful

[soffo123]

how is that fretless you can see all the frets

[recrda]

the frets are made with paint, thy're not real just somethinc u can guide to

[paulsimpsonmusic]

Hi,

The frets were pulled out of the fretboard, and the gaps filled in with wood filler.

[landa380]

Can you tell me how did you do it?

[Cocacola0zero]

Fernandes sustainer ;)

[landa380]

Thanks ;)

[paulsimpsonmusic]

Hi,

The signal from the bridge pickup is fed into a battery operated, homemade circuit that outputs a signal to the 'driver' near the neck pickup (you can't see this very well in the video) that electromagnetically 'pulls' the strings every half-cycle.

The guitar and electronics were both built by me as a 'one-off' design - it's not a Sustainiac or Fernandes system, though it works in a similar way. I was inspired by both Michael Brooks and Ned Evett to build this guitar.

[landa380]

Ok, thanks. I think that works great! I want to try something like that in my guitar, Do you know anything else that can be usefull?.

[landa380]

Hi

[permadeth]

groovey!

[elobservadorenliinea]

my guitar sucks...i connect it to a amplifier and it still sucks....sound like a acoustic but on high volume! why?...and either the chords are so hard to play!

[dongpedroyi]

Hello elobservadoenliinea -- How to get that "rock sound"?

Decent amplifiers have a "drive" channel - obviously my crappy first amplifier hadn't. As an alternative, get a "distortion pedal" and connect it between the guitar and the amplifier (you'll need 2 cables to do so). About the difficulty playing chords: maybe the strings are too high. Ask a guitar repair person to "lower the action"(lower the height of the strings) and it will be much easier to play. Good luck

[jwelsh149]

in my opinion the best amps only have 1 channel(fender delux reverb)

[recrda]

try changing the strings

[highroller540]

sounds like steve vai

[juangalindo1992]

how did you made the sustainer please tell me =D

that was actually pretty nice.!

[fishytank1land]

yeah im looking for a fretless guitar with the fernandes, but i can't really find one. you should put some effects on that patch and it will sound great.

[diddydid]

mental skills

[jateus]

how the duck?!?!

[nirvanaxjagstang]

That wicked. The sustain abusolutely amazing.

[milesmanetta]

thats soo cool!!!!

[rattfan8534]

seriously how did you make the sustainer

[Axemanthegreat]

that sustainer is awsome

[vac]

i think he's got one pickup feeding back into the other

[daesda]

How the hell did you make that sustainer? please tell me!!
