The EBow, a hand-held electronic bow for guitar, offers a unique way for guitarists to create sounds that mimic strings, horns, and woodwinds. This battery-powered device replaces the traditional pick, allowing for incredibly sensitive and expressive playing. Instead of just picking or strumming, the EBow interacts directly with your guitar strings to produce a powerful, infinite sustain, rich with harmonics, opening up a world of sonic possibilities beyond conventional guitar techniques and pedal effects. This direct string synthesis is what makes the EBow truly special, letting you achieve sustained notes that seem to float and resonate indefinitely.
