Perhaps a driver in a black box thingie that clamps onto the head-stock?
It just adds mechanical feedback which reinforces the note's ringing. To
get an idea how that mechanical feedback works turn up the amp's volume,
short of it feeding back, and then touch the head-stock to the cabinet.
It's a clever trick but the acoustic feedback is different.
