Full Sustainiac kit including the renowned DIMARZIO EVOLUTION humbucker!
As featured in Steve Vai's current Ibanez guitars.
The Evolution® humbuckers are the result of two years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player: Steve Vai and his Ibanez® Jems. Both pickups are designed for maximum impact and power. The bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. These pickups have our patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers. Evolution® pickups are not polite-sounding, and they’re not for the inexperienced, but – if you’ve got the chops and a hot amp – your sound will burn. The Evolution® pickups were originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much presence and definition that they’re great recording pickups, too; they slice right through even the densest mix.
The Sustainiac Stealth PRO contains the following features:
SUSTAINIAC DRIVER: The Sustainiac driver replaces your neck pickup.
SUSTAINIAC MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD: The Sustainiac circuit board can be installed into most electric guitar electronics cavities with little or no routing. Measures about 90mm x 40mm.
The Sustainiac in most configurations has an ON/OFF control switch and also a 3-position MODE control switch (standard, mix and harmonic modes).
We offer 3 types of Auxiliary control boards:
The Aux-TT board (most popular) is 1.8 in. (46mm) wide x 1.35 in. (35mm) tall. (Requires 1.35 in. (35mm) cavity depth). The two toggle switches are spaced 1.00 inches (25.4mm) apart.
The AUX-RG board is the smallest Sustainiac switch board, to be positioned horizontally, while other Aux boards are placed vertically. Measures 40mm by 25mm. About 1 inch of depth is needed inside the cavity.
The AUX-JS (Joe Satriani signature) has an ON/OFF push/pull pot control (tone pot) and also a HARMONIC MODE control. Measures 55m x 35mm.
Auxiliary boards are not required, you can use loose toggle switches, or push/pull pots for turning sustain On and Off, and to switch between standard and harmonic modes (no mix mode in this configuration).

Sustainiac Steve Vai Dimarzio Evolution Kit
The Sustainiac Stealth PRO sustain system drives the strings of an electric guitar into infinite feedback sustain of string vibrations by electromagnetic feedback. You control the feedback sustain by simple hand muting. Also, you don't have to blast your ears with dangerous sound levels of a large amp. It doesn't change the tone of your guitar pickups or output signal, because it operates directly on the instrument strings.
Used by many guitarists, including Joe Satriani, Matt Bellamy and Synyster Gates.
