Do they really give more sustain?

You could achieve the same effect with far superior results by having the top of your guitar's headstock touching a wall while playing.

I suppose that those clip-on (Intellitouch) tuners would probably be
similiar to the fatfinger.

I don't believe so. The Fatfinger is a dense hunk of metal whereas the Intellitouch is the usual, thin as possible plastic.

As much as i enjoy his playing, if i see a picture of him using one in front of a bunch of fender gear with price tags on it I can't help but wonder, does he really like it, or is this an ad. I don't trust the opinions of anyone who receives any kind of endorsement money. Hell even the stool is branded.

It looks more like a tuner to me now.

Cheers.

Hi Mr Bill -

are using these devices?

But don't people only endorse something they like? I would endorse fender/squier because I like them more than G&L or ibanez or any other brand (cept Music-man :oops: )
