SUSTAINER The next “must have” thing is Sustainiac Stealth Plus system. If I’m not able to install one I use Sustainiac C System which can be attached to any guitar. The Sustainiac Model C will be introduced later on this page. Sustainer is a electronic system with the special made neck pickup which magnetically starts to vibrate the strings creating a feedback effect, like what you get by standing in front of a stack of Marshalls. The only difference with the sustainer system is that you can repeat and control the feedback exactly the same way every time you play. Sustainer system is the biggest invention since electric guitar! It was invented by Kramer in 1989. My first sustainer guitar was a re issue MusicYo Kramer Sustainer. There are two main systems around Fernandes Sustainers and Sustainiac Stealth Plus. I have had both systems and by far the best one is theSustainiac Stealth Plus. Fernandes has the best selection of sustainer guitars. I have had a Fernandes Ravelle Elite which will be introduced later on this page. You can buy the fernandes sustainer as a kit but the circuit board is quite large and requires a chisel to make room inside your guitar. The Sustainiac Stealth gives stronger feedback and is very small so you can install it into most guitars without modifying the body. The installation can be easily reversed if you decide to sell the guitar. For detailed info and ordering check out Sustainiac WWW site: www.sustainiac.com Alan Hoover at Sustainiac is very helpful guy who modifies the setups to your needs with affordable prices!http://www.sustainiac.com/shapeimage_13_link_0
AMFISOUND KAIRA H6 GUITAR This is now my main guitar! It is made by a Finnish Metal Guitar Specialist: AMFISOUND (www.amfisound.fi). I got this guitar from Guitar Maker Tomi Korkalainen (Amfisound) as an award for my pioneering work for Finnish Metal. Quite Cool! This is the best guitar I have ever played (and I have played quite a few from Parker to American Showster!) I really like the colour and finish on the guitar as it reminds me of my favourite element, water. The black fret board without any inlays is simply stylish. I think the words to describe this guitar are "stylish, functional and beautiful". All the materials and parts on the guitar are top of the line. Fulfilling my "special" requirements the guitar has a Roland GK-3 Midi pickup and the Sustainiac Electro Magnetic Feedback system. The guitar has the fastest neck ever! Since I got my Amfisound guitar I have not played my other guitars at all! http://www.amfisound.fishapeimage_15_link_0

HOW TO MAKE A FLAME THROWER GUITAR


You can watch a video of my 60’s Hagstrom III guitar which was customised to have a Flame Thrower in 1980. Flame Throwers are dangerous so do not try this at home :) The Hagstrom III guitar was chosen for this project as it has an ultra thin neck. So this is a very playable guitar even when there’s a gas pipe on the back of the neck.
