There are two types of Sustainiac. The Electro-acoustic one that
clamps to the headstock:

which is the one I use and which can be moved from guitar to guitar
(and even works on electro-acoustics) and the 'Stealth' which is the
'Guitar Pickup Working Backwards' variety:
http://www.sustainiac.com/stealth.htm
and which comes in Fender and Gibson versions.
The Fernandes Sustainer is a version of the latter, though I'm not
sure exactly when or how the development 'forked'.
the electro-acoustic and electro-magnetic versions sound and act
rather differently, so it's not a simple matter to choose between
flavour of effect and convenience & tidiness of installation.
