Frequently Asked Questions
It uses a small speaker to generate sustained notes, controlled via a 2-way switch; it's straightforward once you understand the basic settings and how it interacts with your playing.
The Ultra Thin C profile is generally comfortable, but the wider nut width (41.3 mm) might feel a bit cramped for players with very small hands.
While other signature guitars offer high-end features, the Sustainiac system is a genuine differentiator, offering a unique sonic palette not commonly found in competing instruments.
