had one before in a fernades 7 string . it was totally sweet . ate batteries rather quickly , dont leave your guitar plugged in or it will run the battery down very quickly .

if your installing one you do know you have to have additional routing . the curcuit board is sort of big and doesn't really fit into most guitars like an ibanez without some extra routing . Buy the 401k kit too . it may just have a single coil driver pickup but the sustainer is already put together and wired up . Just get a junk humbucker and pull out a coil and stick the driver on the baseplate of the humbucker , you want the driver to be on the side right against the neck of the guitar . This is how steve vai has his FLO setup .

other then that not much else .
