That's not totally true. The construction and material used to make the guitar have a bearing on the amount of sustain you can get. The tailpiece (for Strats, this is either fixed bridge (hardtail) or floating bridge) have a bearing on sustain and sound. Some would even say the number of springs used in the floating bridge can have an impact (SRV had 4 as opposed to the standard 2). Then there are varying methods for attaching the neck to the body which can impact sustain. Yes, the material and construction used for a solid body electric guitar is less of a factor than for a hollow body electric guitar, but it is still a factor. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
