Frequently Asked Questions

The Sustainiac uses a driver pickup to create sustain, offering a more natural feel than some older, less refined sustainer systems and integrates seamlessly into the guitar’s tone.
It’s a standard Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia) – expect a medium darkness and a smooth feel, consistent with what’s commonly found on high-end guitars.
The Edge tremolo is known for its stability, and Ibanez has worked to minimize tuning issues even with the Sustainiac active – though extreme tremolo use might require occasional adjustments.
