EBow Electric Bow for Guitar

Ian a interesting and new tool to experiment withIs really easy to use I definitely recommend thisPlays ever note with out the sound of the strike of the pick, if you practice you can even use it with a bass guitar

It give you infinite sustain on an electric guitar. I use it to blow my, and other's, minds 😉

This is a great piece of kit that every guitar player should have in their kit bag. I don’t play live and only use a home studio, not using a physical guitar amplifier, so getting that high volume amp feedback was near impossible but with the Ebow this is now easily achieved. There is a bit of technique required, especially when using on the upper ‘E’ string but with a little practice this is easily achieved, love it !

Takes a bit of getting used to…Perseverance is required..

The EBow is a hand-held electronic bow for guitar that vibrates a guitar string providing a long sustained effect. I first bought one 20+ years ago and didn't really make much use of it and sold it on. Recently I have developed an interest in ambient and more creative guitar techniques, and having reinvested in one and although I'm still learning I'm on my way to finding its true potential.Where I went wrong before was just expecting to sound great straightway (Wrong!). It takes some time and patience to use an eBow properly (I found some useful hints and tips online, starting at Ebow's own website) but finally with my amp set up correctly with a smidge of overdrive and some lush delay/reverb I'm starting with patience and practice to get the sort of effect I'd been after.The eBow is made of solid plastic and should easily withstand normal use. Connecting and installing the battery was a bit fiddly, but take time and make sure the wires don't get damaged. Switch the eBow off when you're not using it and I reckon battery changes will be few and far between anyway.

Have been using E-bows since the early 90s. Adds a new dimension to the sound of your guitar. Only fault with them is that they are moulded so if there's a problem (like there was with my old one,) you are stuffed! Still, it did well :)

Bit of a one trick gimmick but what a trick. If you’re not Robert Fripp and want to get closest to that Heroes sound, without actually layering 3 feedbacking guitars on top of each other, this will do it. To be honest I’m not sure what else I will use it for but it’s such a 70s icon I just had to have one. It will be fun inventing new sounds and solos to use it for.

I had an original one, and in the end it fell apart after 20 years' use. This new one, with the second 'harmonic' mode, is a more than adequate replacement.
