you rocked it

That’s fun. Thx

Js34 sounds good

The weird sound is coming from the driver coil interfering with the pickup. The proper placement for the driver coil is in the neck position, as far a way from the pickup as possible. It's also generally a better position for the driver to transfer energy to the string more efficiently.

Do you still play this guitar four years later, or did you find it to be a "throwaway"? The used market is full of these guitars--which I'm considering for a gigging backup to my X Series SL3X--but I'm wondering if I'd be better off with a JS32. (Although I prefer HSS pickups.)

Nice job one question..Being that you used a single coil pickup.. does that sustainer driver pickup and set up you made create any noise. Especially the hum noise that single coil pick ups make which they are known for.

Hi, I made this all up but can't get it going. The pickup works until I connect and switch on the small amp, then I have no sound when I tap the pickups. Not sure what gone wrong? I got 2 amps and same with both. Can anyone help please? Thank you.

So could I do this to any 8ohm pickup with the 5v amp or is there something special you did with winding? I watched you wind it but Im new to all of this and can’t tell if you did anything out of the norm. Great project and idea!!

How about cleaning that poor guitar?

Will this work on an electric bass?

Did you try to mount it on neck position ? I'm curious to see if it change anything

He gets my attention about the same as Malmsteen does…none at all…speed freaks!

Cool hack but I think that pup needs some nasal spray!! Lol I Enjoy your videos!❤

There is a Facebook group DIY guitar sustainer, that is very deep inside this. Especially the member Brian Thornock is very close to the official sustainiac. I own two Schecter with sustainiac and can tell you, it is much fun.

Here's mine although I'm not using the same circuit and driver like yours. th-cam.com/video/kG8UH5UywR8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AukNH_9tlyvmzp89

I read that you want the sustainer as far from the bridge as possible, I wonder how the sound would be different in the neck. I was resithis because I mainly use my neck pickup, and didn’t want to lose it. Nice job I thought actually, it does the thing. I would like to hear how it sounds compared to a sustainiac. I also kinda like the out of phase sound

Very nice patch, it sounds a lot like srv!!!

thanks for the video, this is super cool!

can you please make a diagram to the circuit

Oi! Você enrolou uma bobina de 5 ohms sobre a bobina de um captador( pickup) comum? Desculpe não escrever em inglês. Obrigado.

Never seen a locking nut installed like that..??

Did you remove the existing wire from the pickup and rewind, or did you put the spacer in on top of the existing wire and wind new wire over the spacer?

Burstbucker more open and better sounding imo.

Just subscribed! Amazing stuff thank you! Tinkerers unite!

Hi pappy

Excellent

flip the coil, its out of phase.....

Indiana Jones ! Woo !

Watched this again this morning, have a near future build that I want a sustainer in, pretty straight forward. The spacer is my question...... it's the insulation between the stock winding and the new copper wound wire, 3 mm , I was thinking about using either wrapped gorilla tape or a piece of plastic storage container,cut and heated up to bend around the single coil I'm thinking beyond shorting, possibly a noise issue? Otherwise I did easily locate the rest of the items. Also would 100-110 times around give you 8 ohms? Rather than the 120? I don't really do alot of wiring, so I'm definitely a novice as far as this stuff goes, again Thank You in advance. I'm tempted to just buy one but they are so pricey for something that you use here and there.....

Very cool

Nicely done!! A little less fuzz and Brian May would be proud!

The sound you when it's on It's like it's out of phase. You tried to invert the output of the amp?

In order get patches I need a PC?

Thanks for the information did not know Marshall had SRV model out...

Ingenious. Love your engineering technique.Sounds great👍.

What's the difference between this one and JS34Q?

Hello and thanks for this content .Instead of building a driver can I use a regular ceramic single coil pick up with 7.3 k?

i pay 20 dolar for all the material soldered, ready for instal in the guitar, with a schematic how to instal in the guitar.......anyone interested ?

Muchas gracias por esta demostración, excelente video! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina

Can you create the sustain coil on an existing pickup? So, I may use that pickup position if it’s not being used as a sustainer.

I guess if you like that sound, the probucker has too much high end, very horrible. I replaced the bridge pickup with a Di'Marzio super distortion and now my 2022 Epi sounds much better. Still not a Gibson, but it's close.

I tend to use the HOT-CH in most of my guitars, even fenders. Did you ever measure the resistance across the gibson vs the epiphone? the epiphone HOT-CH usually has 13-14.5 K-OHMS.

sweet bro

Good idea cool video but the tone that it is producing is not acceptable for what my application would be. TBH I think it would be a lot less of a headache to just buy a guitar for about 8 or 900 bucks with the sustainiac in it already instead of buying a sustainiac pick up and system and having it installed.

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine had a Fernandes with a sustainer system. It was so much fun to play with, but the pickups had ZERO volume roll dynamics/headroom. The volume pots were basically on/off switches. Even rolled up 1/4 to 1/2 way, it was about as dirty as it was on 10, even on the most responsive tube amp. I roll my volume through all of my performances. It's the source of my dynamics. The Fernandes was useless to me due to the lack of headroom. Does that have anything to do with the sustainer system/pickup or was that maybe that the guitar had shitty potentiometers and/or capacitors? That's the only guitar with a sustainer that I had ever played. I've wanted to hot rod a Charvel So-Cal with one, but if it has anything to do with eating headroom and dynamics, it would not be worth the trade off.

thanks! what is the number of turn for the winding please ! i want to make it manualy ( sorry for my bad english)

Very clever
