pugdealer Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 The topic says it all... I saw this parker fly signature model, by adrian belew or something, and the guy had variax guts (not jtv) and a sustainiac...I was wondering if anyone had done it with a JTV...I got a sustainiac layin' around and i'd love to fit it to one of my JTV's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekc Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 A: it Will void the Line-6 Warranty B: If you have $$$ anything is possible http://www.sustainiac.com/install.htm C: the similar Fernandes Sustainer has a similar installation experience. (lots of routing and sawdust and huge risk of damaging your guitar ) https://youtu.be/9rxLktV8x-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I never understood these things. Who needs to hang on a note for a day and a half? If you really have a burning desire for infinite sustain, buy an ebow or learn to play the violin. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugdealer Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 The question is in regards to the possibility! Can you? If so, how? JTV guts aren't exactly your everyday standard guitar wiring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekc Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Routing can be handled by a few gurus - but its the required wood routing for locating the Sustainiaic Driver board that presents the biggest hurdle https://web.archive.org/web/20070221000644/http://www.exit45.com/VaxV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I heard a sustainiac doesn't work right with a variax. I could be wrong. Something about needing a magnetic pickup to be used in the mix to create the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eenymason Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I heard a sustainiac doesn't work right with a variax. I could be wrong. Something about needing a magnetic pickup to be used in the mix to create the feedback. It sure can - as the OP said, Adrian Belew had a custom model Parker Fly with the original vax guts, a sustainiac, and a Di Marzio humbucker, plus midi output - must've been no wood left in the body... no longer available, but here's the specs... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/parker-guitars-adrian-belew-signature-fly-electric-guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
