Sustainer in Jazzmaster/Jag examples?
I'm tempted to build a lefty Ed O'Brien type guitar (in terms of a sustainer pickup in a strat, not the colour way or maple neck)
But got me thinking about a Jazzmaster or Jag if I'm building it from the ground up. Especially with the shallow tremolo, I think it'd work nicely with the sustainer.
I know Marr has a Jag with a sustainer in it, but I don't think I've come across a vid of it.

A little necromancy might yield some useful info. From the depths of the OSG archive...

Also from here onwards recently re the Marr sustainer jag ...

Possibly like the easiest approach would be via the basic, single-coil-only version of the Fernandes FSK-401 sustainer kit. The wiring diagram for the Ed O'Brien strat is available, but is obviously for a 3-pickup guitar with different controls.

Cheers, gotta find a 401 kit next! All seem to be sold out.
Not sure if this'll go in a offset or strat yet... watch this space.

Re: Sustainer in Jazzmaster/Jag examples?
I was literally just yesterday browsing for sustainers and debatting what to get. After some time I came to the conclusion that the best would be a Digitech Freqout pedal - or am I completely wrong here? Sustainiacs and Sustainers are just monophonic, too. They offer 2 modes instead of 7 and they require heavy routing (at least the Fernandes) in one of my guitars whereas the pedal can just sit on my board. What's not to like? Or did I overlook something?

The Freqout doesn't do much for me based on demos on Youtube.

Re: Sustainer in Jazzmaster/Jag examples?
I guess it depends on what you want to do with it, musically. The freqout is a cool pedal but you can't do a lot of sustainer techniques with it. If you just want to hold a note and have it decay rapidly into a harmonic, sure. But the Sustainer can do a whole lot of Ebow-like stuff that wouldn't work any other way but by driving the string magnetically.

Re: Sustainer in Jazzmaster/Jag examples?
Totally agree. I was just lisening to Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook Sleeps With the Fishes which isn't perhaps the best elpee ever released on 4AD but it's certainly the one I listen to most. It's a sustainer (or infinite guitar as B rook calls it) masterpiece.mbene085 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 2:00 amI guess it depends on what you want to do with it, musically.

Been a long time since I listened to this.

Now I gotta build one! Huge Brook fan. That track also sounds a lot like NIN's A Warm Place in parts...shadowplay wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 3:36 amTotally agree.

Now just a question of whether I want the JM/Jag type trem or Strat trem...
