Clue's in the thread title folks.
I'm finding myself annoyed and disappointed with the lack of sustain to be found on my otherwise excellent ibanez guitars.
I played an LTD Eclipse the other day that, granted, through a nice amp, and live rather than through my home recording setup, seemed to sustain for days.
What guitars should I check out? I intend on spending a day auditioning every guitar I can find for the best sustain I can get. Budget can be massaged, but around the £500 mark.
I'm really not fussed about anything apart from having a beautiful, long natural sustain. I *WILL* sacrifice these other requirements to get it, but it would be ideal if I could also get:
Double Cutaway
Low profile bridge (TOMs are not normally my thing, too high off the body)
Neckthrough
Fixed Bridge
25.5" Scale Length or longer.
Not EMG pickups (But again, I will bend on this)
