Depends upon whether it is in full working order. I would be interested if the Transatlantic shipping costs and import duties were not so high.

I bought one directly from the company at NAMM in '04 for $200, and they sell new at retail for around $250, and in the $200 range on Ebay, even used/pulled from a Jackson DK2S, so if it's in good working order you should be able to get $200 for it.

why are they typically as the neck pickup? what if you want to rage in the humbucker position sustainiacally? or does it work in conjunction with the other pickups? I have no idea how this thing works.

They are only used in the neck position because they can vibrate the string harder there, where the bridge would soak up some of the movement and slow its effect. also the neck pickup is typically in the 24th fret position for that harmonic sweet spot. it works with other pickups, and can also function as a pickup itself. it generates tones similar to an ebow that the bridge pickup plays.

it functioned great, i used it with an EMG 81 bridge. it didn't want to work as a neck pickup for me though, just a sustainer or in harmonic mode. not sure if i had it wired wrong or if i used th wrong switch, but i never tried to fix it. the directions are long and a pain to follow.

Hi , this is the Older sustainiac, " stealth plus", the newer one is "Stealth Pro" and it available at $239 from sustainiac.
I see this model sold in ebay around 120 - 130, I'd buy it for $140, if you willing to sell let me know.
BTW, i see the green, and bare wires from the driver are missing, they should have black, red, green, and bare wires.
