This almost sounds like Art Durkee's IFSS-equipped Stick.  IFSS is
the Infinite Feedback Sustain System developed by Art and Al Jewer
for the Stick.  One major component is a contact driver attached to
the back of the Stick.

There used to be a FAQ on the IFSS on the Laughing Cat Records page
but it's gone for some reason.  But Art can still be contacted at
Stickdragn@aol.com

Cheers,
