He is quoted on the Fernandes guitars website: "Since using my Fernandes Sustainer, I have become the life and soul of any and every party. Guys look at me anxiously from corners of the room, while fawning bimbettes seek my opinions on the fetishisings of music's inherent and delineated meanings."
It just wouldn't be like him to say: "I love the Sustainer, it's really cool."
