milod Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Okay, here's the problem as I see it: We're all talking from a purely subjective reading of the complaint about poor sustain. So... My thought is, are we perhaps talking about a wish that the guitar itself can't change? That's a possibility. So... if that be true, how then does one add sustain. A stomp box certainly is one option. But in the olden days before stomp boxes we had volume pedals turned up way beyond where it should be and you could hold a note for ages... What the heck, pedal steel players have been doing just that for ages... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 As others have said sustain is different for different models and even different guitars. If the guitar doesn't have it use a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Get some viagra. Crush it. Add a little water so you've got a paste and smear it all over the body and neck. If your sustain lasts longer than 4 hours, it could be dangerous, call a luthier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take things personally one bit, especially from a stranger, and I'm not sure what you meant was malicious. It seems more like immaturity. However, it is general etiquette to watch what you say to others who've been here longer and are more familiar/knowledgeable of the way things flow here. You are too new to start to act like everybody likes/respects you. You're going to run into someone who's not going to be as nice as I am to tell you this, or you might get yourself in a bind with the mods if you keep it up. I believe this is the 2nd time you've come across rudely to a "veteran" here. Get the hint if you don't want folks against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLID G I wasn't talking about myself, since roughly 4 months in any forum hardly a veteran makes, "my man". Plus, I don't have a click here. I actually have a blessed life (more than you'll probably ever know). I could care less who people are, and just so you know... ah, nevermind. Have a good "trip", Captain.

jaxson50 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 One old trick is to use heavy strings. I had a friend who played a old Les Paul TV Jr. (a double cutaway). One night when we were playing at a club he had a bit too much to drink and passed out while playing! Feel flat on his face, the guitar broke were the neck and body were joined, he had a guy fix it, he glued the joint and added a large metal plate on the back of the guitar over the break, that sucker would sustain like crazy after that plate was added...
