EVH Charvel w/Sustainiac pics!

[bob mclaughlin]

Here's alittle project Iv'e been working on for the last two weeks and it came out great. I (really my guitar tech) put in a Sustainiac Sustainer in my (overpriced piece of junk to some of you's ) EVH Charvel. I already have a R/W/B and didn't want two of the same guitars and adding a neck pup (acts like one when not activated) to this guitar made it more versital than just a one tone monster that she is. Alan Hoover at Maniac Music is just a fantastic guy to deal with as this was his FIRST attempt to making a Sustainac unit to work with an EVH Charvel. Very little routing was done to this because the circuit board and the 5 way swicth fit into the cavity that was already there..............

I love how the back cavity comes without a cover

[Racerx2k]

Yeah,I have a Chandler body that came like that, too. I kept it like that, to maintain a cartain authenticity, normally I run the stock covers.

[Ozzdoc]

nice! Would like to hear what it sounds like...

The 5 way switch works like this..........

1.(down) bridge
2. neck
3.(middle) Sustainiac on "normal mode"
4. Mix mode
5.(up) Harmonic mode

In the "normal" mode, just like Whispering a Prayer

In "Harmonic" mode, Think at the end of VHs Me Wise Magic or Respect the Wind on the Twister sountrack................

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for that white & black....guitar?

[C.Thep]

I traded in my Jem7DBK for it and if I told you how much extra cash I paid, the people with the banners on the top of the page would fold (only kidding, but not really). I could have gotten a Jem77BRMR for even cheaper............

So you can still switch the sustainer from feedback mode to note sustain?

[David McCarroll]

I don't think anyone here would think these are "junk", but a $2600 list price for a pretty simple guitar just seems a bit steep. Having said that, a very sweet looking axe!
