two things without getting into pedals come to mind to hold notes longer
the E-bow , it's around 50$ on Craigslist
the Fernandez "sustainer" pickup , but the pickup is under the strings
heavier metals that the Guitars parts are made out of and certain woods will make the notes ring out longer , as well as having the pickups lower to the neck. Neckthrough guitars have better sustain (note longevity) than any les paul or fender out there...bolted on - fender or glued on -les paul are still excellent but neckthrough is the best.
thicker strings hold notes longer too
