Not easy to fit, I did one for a customer. You have to replace your neck pickup, carve huge amounts of wood out of your guitar and find a place for a battery (even more wood to remove).
However the results were good and the customer was very pleased with the results...

Hi Norm,

Do you have anyexperience or comments on the Sustainiac unit. I
understand the Fernades was based on an earlier rev of the electronic
Sustainiac.

I bought a Revolver with Sustainer in November, '02. It is, indeed,
a bunch of fun for those long, ringing solos, especially with the
Harmonic mode (and, a little whammy-bar action). I also like to run
it through a chorus and a clean amp - the chords swell and sing
infinitely.

However, it is (understandably) much thinner in sound than my '72
Gibson SG Special!!!
