Members superdistortion Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 On average do your heavier guitars have more sustain than the lighter ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarNoobie Posted December 6, 2009 Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 On average do your heavier guitars have more sustain than the lighter ones? i am beginning to believe this... i am sure good hardware and a good nut play a big role, but my experience is starting to tell me weight plays a role too.. of course my heaviest guitars are my most expensive so weight is probably just one player in sustain...

Members GAS Man Posted December 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2009 Start weighing your pedals!Funny, I thought about doing that because I just received a Coffin Blood Drive, and it's so much smaller than it looks like on line -in fact it's only 13.2 ounces smaller than my hand.Cool pedal by the way.
