t5 feedback help

[bob]

help: looking for help with controling the feedback from my t5. just when i get a good sound and want to sustain it for a second my t5 starts to feedback.

Are you using a compressor to get the sustain you want or trying to get it from your amp/PA? I use an MXR Super Comp and have quite a bit of control over sustain and feedback. I like to get just a little feedback every once in a while and the compressor helps to keep that under control. Of course, I am playing a solid body Tele. The T5 might have more natural tendency toward feedback since it is a hollow body instrument. I plan on getting a T5 eventually so I'm interested to see what some other people have to say.

 What type of amp and effects are you currently playing through with your T5?

THANKS FOR THE HELP, I AM PLAYING THROUGH A ROLAND AC 60 . IT WAS RECOMMENDED FROM MY MUSIC STORE.

The AC60 has feedback control that you can adjust. Just find the offending frequency and cut them out. That being said, with a T5, keep your body between your guitar and your amp. That solves many problems. You can also use foam in the f-hole inserts to reduce feedback.
I have been playing the T5s since they hit the market and have never had a feedback issue. You may want to cut your highs a bit if that is where it is coming from. Some venues will haunt you with a certain resonant feedback like a low-mid squeal, but I have not had any problems with the T5. I often use the Roland AC90 and no issues.
If you have anything else in your signal chain that could be a problem. Make sure you don't have gain staging issues, (where you have preamps raising your gain too high into either the next input source or your amp, resulting in higher noise and more susceptible feedback).
Good luck!
