E-bow The Ebow Plus Electronic Bow for Guitars
Email to a FriendQuick Overview
The EBow is a hand-held electronic bow for guitar. This small battery-powered unit replaces the pick in the right hand letting the guitarist mimic strings, horns, and woodwinds with unbelievable sensitivity. The EBow produces a powerful infinite sustain, rich in harmonics for incredible guitar sounds. Unlike plug-in effects, the Energy Bow does its work on the string itself... Direct String Synthesis™. Infinite Sustain is just the beginning.
Product Description
The EBow was introduced in the summer of 1976 at the NAMM Show (National Association of Music Merchants)in Chicago.
The EBow was introduced in 1976. The first model was chrome plated plastic and turned on and off automatically. The second model was black with a red logo. It had increased drive and an on/off switch. The third model was black with a white logo. It had an improved sensitivity for faster string activation. This fourth model is called the PlusEBow.
