Yeah, I was saying before that I played one at the
NAMM show (2006) and it was REALLY cool. It was pretty easy for a guitarist to
play right off the bat. I caught on quickly. It looks like they have a
guitar-synth compatible version now that didn't exist when I tried
it.
If I ever decide to do a bowed electric instument,
it will be one of these. Don't have the cash at the moment, though.

Anybody heard of, or tried one of these? They're kinda
spendy - but look like the answer to guitarists wanting a bow-ing
experience.

Andy, the custom built instruments I saw were around $4K as you say
EBOW is a excellent alternative for only $60. Having said that I'm still
trying to master the Ebow. Listening to your CD you have had a lot of
practice.

hi
Luis.
The basic problems are 1) the body of the guitar gets in the
way
2) the bridge for a bowable instrument really needs to be curved,
so you can
access individual strings ( so the fretboard needs to be
curved too)
so the only good solutions I know are
1) a custom
built instrument
2) ebow ;-)
3) there's a technique I sometimes used
for bass which would work with guitar, only works
for the two
outside strings and not that easy to co-ordinate, but I can share that if
you like.
