The body of the guitar does not amplify the vibration of the strings into audible sound.

The Infinite Guitar was created by Michael Brook , as a way of allowing an electric guitar note to be held with infinite sustain hence the name . It consists of an electronic circuit that takes the signal from a standard guitar pickup, amplifies it, and feeds it back into a separate pickup coil.

In addition to his own instrument, based on a Tokai Guitars Tokai Strat copy , Brook produced two Infinite Guitars, one of which belongs to Daniel Lanois . The other belongs to The Edge of U2 , who famously used it on With or Without You from 1987 s The Joshua Tree .
