Saw the ad for one of these things in an old issue of Steel Guitarist. What is an E-Bow and how does it work? I see it's supposed to be used to increase "sustain".
Thanks all. |

From the EBOW website, just what I was looking for. Thanks folks, the light dawns.
In their credits Ebow says Jimi was involved in the development. Neat.
How the EBow Works
Powered by a 9 volt battery, the EBow produces a magnetic drive field which in effect bows the guitar string. This field emanates from the blue LED end of the DriveChannel and feeds directly into your guitar pickup when brought near it. For maximum drive, the bowed string should run down the middle of the DriveChannel and vibrate freely in this field. Just hold the EBow in place and fret the vibrating string with your left hand.

Super Ray, thanks for the info. I wondered about how it works too. Here's the only stupid question I've ever heard:
"Why didn't I ask someone about this??"
