The Sustainiac is a transducer that feeds the guitar signal back into the instrument, either through a "pickup" that drives the strings electromagnetically, or through a driver that mounts on the head stock. Maniac Music is a small company in Indianapolis that invented and still manufactures the Sustainiac. As I understand it, they originally licensed the Sustainiac technology to Fernandes Guitars, but Fernandes realized they could design their own system and not have to pay royalties to Maniac Music. The Fernandes Sustainer is a essentially the same thing as the Sustainiac, without the good vibes. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
