What do you all think of the ebow? I have one and I loving love it, but it does lend its self to some pretty awful, wanky poo poo.

For example, this is probably the most boring use of an otherwise wonderful guitaring device:

I'm glad my ebow was an impulse buy, because if I saw this poo poo before hand, I would of burst out laughing whenever I saw one. Soo much string jiggling.

I kind of want an ebow, but there is no way I am paying retail for one.

I lucked out and got one that had been sitting in a pawn shop forever. They didn't really know what it was and seemed happy to get rid of it for cheap.

Edit: Holy poo poo, I realized that I got a deal, but I never would of payed $100+ for a new one.

I don't use mine much anymore but I used to do weird poo poo on my banjo with it when I was in an acoustic country rock band a few years ago. I wish there was, like, a double or even triple string version of it. BIG THICK PADZ

They're great but yeah, you only really see them used with cheesy metal lead tones, and the swell isn't instantaneous iirc so you'd have to get used to single-string melodies. Maybe I was just bad at using it.

There's also stuff like the Sustainiac which literally shakes your guitar into feeding back, and I think it'd leave your right hand free.

Never used one and the price puts me off, but blues-dads loving HATE them, they see them as the anti-tone.

Edit: Use with with a POD and they'd probably poo poo themselves to death.

Great way to get that instant 'feedback/harmony' thing going, worst thing about them is holding them when picking something relatively intricate.

If you want Multi-string ebow action I think there are sustainer pickups that can do that... Built in. Also Moog has a guitar that may do this as well.

Thanks for the trem advice.

it's supposed to be a mix of an eb-0 and a flying v which shouldn't really work but kinda does. the sg/telecaster is like orange juice and toothpaste.

I think it looks way cooler than a traditional acoustic headstock, but what do I know? The only acoustic I've ever owned was a Fender Stratacoustic acoustic/electric v:shobon:v

No way they look loving absurd. acoustic guitars should be 3+3 or just not bother.

I love this, because it's most likely a photoshop made for the singular purpose of posting on TGP to piss off Fender AND Gibson Fandads. Some dentist probaby flipped his poo poo, and linked it in an email to Scott Grove posthaste.

Actually, can we just make Scott Grove a worst music thing?

"This is not only a security risk but we occasionally get pigeons roosting in the space as a result."
Scott Grove is indeed terrible, and probably owns an SG/Tele hybrid exactly like that. Or used to, but sold it.

I know Zamaitis have come up earlier, but I was slightly surprised to find that someone is still building guitars under that name (I knew Greco was doing copies). Like the originals, they are hilariously ugly. I don't know of anything else so expensive that looks so cheap.

Edit: Image is broken I guess so go here and feast your eyes on the whole lovely menagerie of pearl-encrusted abortions.
