Fernandes Guitar Pickups

Conventional wisdom would have you believe that getting an outrageous amount of sustain from your guitar requires an equally outrageous sustain pedal on your pedalboard - but what if there was a way to generate more sustain right at the source, onboard the guitar? The engineers at Fernandes weren't afraid to ask that question, and with one of the Fernandes guitar pickups in this section, you can create infinite sustain for your guitar in a surprisingly simple way: by keeping the strings vibrating longer. The Fernandes Sustainer system uses magnets to physically move the strings so they won't stop vibrating until you want them to, delivering real unlimited sustain from the top down.

The sky's the limit when you have one of these pickups on your instrument. Want natural sustain together with digital effects? No problem. Want to control your sustain intuitively, with your hands instead of your feet? That's the whole point! And unlike a sustain pedal, using one of these won't require you to go crazy with volume levels - it'll work wherever you want to set your dial. If you're looking for the easiest installation, the Fernandes Sustainer FSK-101 Humbucker Pickup Kit is probably the way to go. Or, if you want a little more versatility including the ability to swap in a new humbucker later without sacrificing the Sustainer's functionality, check out the Fernandes FSK-401 Sustainer Pickup Kit.

Who ever thought that a pickup would someday be able to generate infinite sustain by actually vibrating the strings? Fernandes did, apparently. It seems a little backward since the usual job of pickups is to detect the strings' vibrations, not to create them - and yet here we are with a set of pickups that can do both, and with amazing results. The bottom line is that if you want your instrument to have sustain like no other, one of these Fernandes guitar pickups is ready to make it happen.
