Sustain is largely a function of the wood of the guitar - all of the solutions you're looking at might help a little, but if you've already got decently high output pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge, and tuners that don't suck, while you might see marginal improvement, it won't be significant, in my opinionMy guitars are all basswood, and I don't seem to have a problem with sustaina large part of sustain has to do with your techniqueThe first link has a few suggestions, some of which I agree with, others I don'tMake sure your guitar is properly set upYou might want to consider slightly higher action - but keep in mind that the higher your action is, the quicker it will go out of tune, as your fingers will pull on the strings more (longer distance to fret)Hope that makes senseCompressors are one way to go, but they will usually add a bit of noise at their higher settings, and yes, there will be some tone colorationI actually like the way my compressor colors my tone (it's a very inexpensive Rogue Vintage Compressor) but again, it does add some noiseConsequently, I don't use it when I'm playing distortedThicker strings are actually a big oneI love playing with 11's, and I've thought about going up a gaugethe only thing that's stopped me is that 12's are hard for me to findThe difference between 9's and 10's was pretty huge for me, it really thickened up my tone and gave me more tension (more sustain)I do tune Drop-D down 1/2 step most of the time, which helps them play a lot easier, at 1/2 step down they have about the same tension as normal 10'sTechnique is paramount - pick closer to the neck, toughen up your vibratoI know this reply is a little scattered, but my brain is too right nowHope it helpsBuying a Gibson and replacing your body should be your last options Saul
