I use a noise gate and compressor in my rig to cut out the sounds from string squeels but it cuts off my sustain so I want a string through to help carry the sustain. My 2 main guitars are a Schecter C1-EA semi hollow(on the right) with duncan passives and a piezo, and being semi hollow, I can get the sustain to carry on for days. The other is a hand-built Westone from the late 80s. It has hands down the widest tonal range in my guitarsenal, but between the passives and the trem my noise gate cuts out the sustain long before the signal dies.

When I wound it, I did the entire thing by hand. I didn't have a motor to turn the coil or anything, and I made the bobbin out of a piece of acrylic I had. When I do it again, i want to try my hand at a humbucker with wooden bobbins.
