Hiya..

I don't call it 'sustain' myself, even though 'they' do. I rather think of it as strings in motion with the potential to endlessly resonate' *L*.

What happens is that the neck pup doubles up as a an electro magnetic driver.

The signal from the bridge pickup is sent to the driver (neck pickup) and it sends it to an on-board amplifier that amplifies the string frequencies and sends it into the neck driver and the neck driver works much on the same principal as a speaker, well.. kind of.. the string signal gets amped and instead of moving a magnetic speaker coil it moves strings (the strings are the initial sound source AND it's own speaker (if you will) making for an interesting bit of fun..

When everything is optimum this causes the string to resonate off it's own signal for as long as you want, and you have the option of the string resonating in differing harmonics.

By string resonating, I mean the strings actually move. Just plugging in a blank cable (to turn it on) and pulling the knob sets it in motion.. you can feel the strings take off.. it's a wonderful thing.

Again, that is when it is at it's optimum. *L*

I'm going to get it completely figured out.. for now it still works fun enough.

Thanks for asking.
