Concerns about my Syn Custom S

[Steven Bellah]

Yeah, we did have a bit of a look at them, but it didn't do anything unfortunately and we didn't wanna mess with them too much just in case.

Try turning them clockwise, one of them is a volume knob for the pickup.

If the strings vibrate on their own that might be the sustainiac working, when the harmonic mode is on, mine does the same. I would say the sustainiac is working but then you might have a problem with the knobs...just weird it doesnt sustain when you play...

I'll see if we can have another look at the knobs again on the board, just to be 100% sure. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a brand new model in store around here since there's not many places around that sell them here (plus lockdown is a pain right now). We might've just found someone who could possibly take a look at it though, so there might be hope!

Does yours start vibrating on all three settings? It does seem that there is life in the sustaniac, I just can't understand why it doesn't hold notes like it should. Currently it just plays like any old guitar.

Im not sure on all three settings and my battery is dying now so the sustainiac is barely working but Im sure it vibrates with harmonic setting and I think it does the same in the mix but not all the time, but I would say that the sustainiac is at least doing something, just really weird why it doesnt hold notes. Hope you find a solution for it might be an easy fix.

@Millie Imber I was just checking and the strings vibrate in all three modes, I tried to record but you cant really see anything xD
