Fake Sustainiac

Just a stupid DIY version of the Sustainiac Model C (the one that shakes the neck of your guitar with the fundamental frequency coming out of your guitar, making notes feed back or sing on themselves). I need a haircut.

@fuelfreak108 That is where you're wrong. It actually does make your neck vibrate at the same frequency as your notes. I REALLY hope you educate yourself on this subject. Sustainiac website: "The transducer produces sound vibrations in that part of the instrument body. You can feel the instrument vibrate as you play. Some of this vibration energy coming from the transducer gets transferred to the strings, where they sustain their vibration for as long as you want them to."

LOL were u high when you thought of this?

7 for the design 6 for the actual sustain 3 for sound quality. Final score 16 out of 30 (justt kidding, neat idea. DIYers beware....).

A sustainiac doesn't work by "shaking the neck of your guitar." I REALLY hope you understand that. It uses a magnetic field to vibrate the strings.

I am putting up my Model C on Ebay in about 10 minutes!! Excellent condition.

A piezo actuator might be what you need, not sure though.

I was looking for a transducer to do this myself, can see to find one though.

Why buy the real thing? It's like 300USD. This is probably no more than 10USD.

Although the author would have been better making a driver coil.
