Cider Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 in any case as well you're probably still gonna need extra routing done because the sustainiac board just BARELY fits in the default control cavity already; and if you want another knob there then that won't fit either because you'd need a pot and space to put it in and considering the sustainiac board is already a tight fit there's practically gonna be no room for that config. and how exactly would it work off a single knob? I dont think they've ever wired it so you can switch from harmonic/fundamental/regular sustain AND turn it on in the same pot I don't know anything about the sustainiac but it looks like the standard option is push-pull http://www.sustainiac.com/controls.htm but you would sacrifice one of your knobs so I was wondering what if you just add another knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 How completely insane would it be to try and put a sustainiac in one of those yourself...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if you're crafty, you can try getting the the 90% kit. I'm not, and getting them to do it for you is only ~$50 + shipping more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm pretty great with electronics, drilling into the instrument might terrify me a bit. Shipping the guitar out and back seemed pretty expensive, though? And I have no reason to ever be out in the part of the country, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you could buy it online, get it shipped there to install the sustainiac, then you only have to pay to ship it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he'd rather have the neck pickup, which is pretty damn good, instead of the sustainer... but was wrong. I can probably find some reason to drive down that way once it warms up, I suppose.

james90 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 As that other user said on the last page, you can also fit it with the push/pull controls and no drilling/routing. The circuit board barely fits though - I've seen a picture of an install like that, and it looks pretty tricky and is probably not ideal if you can have it routed for the more common toggle switches. Also, the sustainiac does function as a normal neck pickup when it's switched off. It will sound a bit different compared to the current one though.

Alexander DeLarge Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We hope to have news following this years NAMM show at the end of January!" Sounds like it's really close. I should amend my comment, I think that it'll be cool for the people who haven't gotten a Cort yet. Pay no mind if you already have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't know how I feel about the push/pull, honestly, so I'd likely be routing, which seems like something we shouldn't do ourselves. If the circuit board is that tight, maybe we should just wait until I can spend some time down in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocking Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 What's wrong with P90s? I just don't like them. The tone, shape, look... I just dunno man. I mostly REALLY hate 60 cycle hum. If they were just Humbuckers with a single coil sound, I guess I could get behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 He said it was something cool for people who didn't own one already; makes me think it's not an entirely different model. Although, if it's a cool addition to the existing model, I will also be a bit cranky that I blew my money on one for xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still money well spent, a new guitar with some extra options coming out doesn't make your current good guitar bad.

Still hoping it's a new color Yeah I agree with you but it's also kind of like buying a new keyboard that's really great and you like it, but then they release RIGHT after you bought it a newer version with FULL RGB backlighting plus all the features it already had. it's not gonna change that you like it a lot, it's just the little extra you could have gotten would have been cooler too. That being said I'll probably still buy another one eventually for...experimentation purposes mwahahahahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get the Sustainiac model, and hoped he wouldn't care since he JUST started playing at xmas, but apparently it's a big deal. I can't play anymore as I wrecked the nerves in two of my fingers; I wasn't any good, but I was still learning. Now I'm living vicariously through the bf.
