Re: bows for guitars
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.
