A FATHEAD is a simple idea that works on the principle that increasing the mass of a guitar's headstock will increase the duration of string sustain The addition of FATHEAD effectively triples the mass at the headstock of any guitar or bass it's attached to. We know what happens if we make the body thicker and heavier, as an example compare a Gibson Les Paul to an SG for sustain and tonal response. The heavier Les Paul has more sustain and a fuller tonal range because the body has twice the mass.

and also:

The "Fathead" was a Groove Tube product, I KNOW because I used to work for them as Aspen Pittman's first sales manger back in 1981-1982. I still have a "Fahead" laying around but I have never used it. I still use Groove Tubes for the amps however. You can get in touch with their company by calling (818)361-4500 or fax (818)365-9884 OR try www.groovetubes.com and go to the "Fathead" page: www.groovetubes.com/Pages/Fathead.html.

Hope this helps all the wonder and confusion for your readers!
