Frequently Asked Questions

Satriani uses the Sustainiac for creating layered textures, harmonic swells, and mimicking synth sounds, which are key elements in his signature tone.
The neck profile is relatively thin, but the 42.8 mm nut width might feel wider than some prefer; it's best to try it in person if possible.
The Edge tremolo, combined with the locking nut, provides excellent tuning stability even with heavy tremolo use and the Sustainiac active, but regular setup is still recommended.
