<p>I bought one of these{Fathead} a few years ago from a guy that had unearthed a couple.</p>
<p>Kind of a cool nostalgic novelty from the era when brass was "the answer".</p>

<p>That Sustainiac is a beauty indeed, particularly the cord hanging down from the headstock. Always wanted one more thing to trip over while playing, this looks like the answer to my prayers...</p>

<p>That's just part of what you need. You also need one of the old sustainiacs that mounts to the headstock as well</p>

<p>I have what was a rather nice '65 Melody Maker that suffered from both a Floyd Rose and humbuckers. Then some nitwit took out the Floyd and put in cross grain poplar and sprayed it with some kind of red spray paint. It's a shame - it plays quite nicely too.</p>

<p>If your guitar wasn't neck heavy before you put this on....oh baby...it was after!!!!</p>
<p>And remember, the same folks that put these on their axes were also putting Floyd's on '59 Les Pauls & '54 Strats.</p>
<p>It was a time of great creativity tempered with zero common sense.</p>
