Fernandes Ravelle Elite Electric Guitar - See Thru Black

Ravelle Elite Electric Guitar

The Ravelle is elegance personified. Sleek, sexy, and stylish, its trademark design is as unique as the people who play it.
Guitar players are persistently pushing to forge their own sound and image. Here are three words to sum up the Ravelle: uniqueness, individuality and personality. Exquisitely crafted, The Ravelle Elite features Fernandes' trademark body shape, achieving top-notch tone with only the finest wood available. A 5-A Canadian quilted maple top coupled with solid mahogany body and neck with a 22-fret rosewood ebony fingerboard, Locking tuners, Tune-O-Matic bridge w/stop tailpiece, Graph Tech Trem Nut, Abalone inlays and binding, and gold hardware. The Elite is loaded with a Seymour Duncan JB in bridge position, Fernandes Sustainer in neck to bring endless possibilities to your sound.

The Ravelle Elite features the Fernandes Sustainer® bringing the power of infinite sustain at an affordable price. Since the 1960’s, electric guitar players have been searching for an effective way to control sustain and feedback. The Fernandes Sustainer® puts that power at your fingertips. Fernandes has a patented technology that allows players to produce Hendrix-like textures and tonal colorings at any volume level. The Sustainer works with single notes or chords and can be adjusted to give swells or a gradual decay to the sustain. The Fernandes Sustainer® is a specially designed electronic system for electric guitar that creates controllable sustain of any single or group of notes in the instrument’s sound range. This means that the string(s) will ring at constant intensity indefinitely until stopped, regardless of output and location, even if your guitar is not connected to an amplifier!

What Can the Fernandes Sustainer® do for you?

Bring your creativity to new levels by using the Sustainer with any combination of gear in your arsenal of effects, amp modelers and home recording equipment. Discover new sounds exploring the world of controlled sustain and feedback. How do you get natural sustain using digital effects? The Fernandes Sustainer® is the way!

How does it work?

The patented Fernandes Sustainer® system generates a magnetic field causing the strings of the guitar to vibrate. Powered by a 9-Volt battery, the interaction of the bridge humbucking pickup(B), the Sustainer Circuit Board(C) and the neck Sustainer Driver pickup(A), projects magnetic pulses that continuously vibrate the strings of the guitar, the same way an amplifier at extreme volume would do, yet totally controlled! The result is infinite sustain and/or feedback using sparkly clean or loud distorted settings without the need for excessive volume or extra outboard gear!
