[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 370977, member: 2189"] Yeah but what was it worth now in today's dollars? I got something to cheer you up. My 16 year old is a pretty good shredder and jazz player and about a month ago her Les Paul and ESP M-1000 needed setup so it was off to our guitar tech. The ESP has a Floyd Rose so we don't dare tackle that monster when it comes to setup. Our guitar tech does us right and knocks out the job while we wait which takes about an 1 1/2 hours. My 16 year old in that time plays nearly every guitar in the joint (not really but I rase her about it). Anyway she's over there playing when the guitar dept. manager walks up with this beautiful Jackson for her to play. It was a lite purple with rosewood neck/ebony fretboad and gold plated hardware including a Floyd Rose but it had what was called a Sustainiac on it. This thing would sustain literally forever and even sustain in the harmonic which was really a cool sound in itself. She was playing through a Line 6 Spider 3 but went over and plugged into a Marshall Triple lead stack and OH MY GOD! That thing was absolutely awesome. She could get all kinds of feedback sounds, she did several Dimebag sqeals and some divebombs that just sounded nasty wicked. She played Metallica's Master of Puppets and then Bach's Tocatta and Fuque which sounded just other worldly. She wailed on that thing and was just in heaven when Mike told her to turn the guitar over and look on the back. It belonged to Phil Collen, guitarist for Def Leppard and he used in on their last tour. On the back of the guitar is an engraved plate with the details of who and when. Saying our jaws dropped and hit the floor was an understatement to say the least. Jackson makes a Dinky DK2S model (I think) that has the sustainiac on it so sometime when you are out and about around Jackson guitars, if you see one just try it. Works great of Star Spangled Banner too! :happy-very: I guess it goes without saying that my daughter has a sustainiac in her near future. Good thing for me is that I bought the first guitar (the Les Paul) and all the others are on her nickle so she worked and saved to buy the ESP and now she wants a 3rd guitar with the sustainiac mode on it. She has a Seagull acoustic/electric which she really likes. Sorry about your Martin dude! BTW: Tuesday night Rush will be playing outside in an ampitheater about a 1/4 mile from work. I'll enjoy it for you as what are friends for! LOL! [/QUOTE]
