fakfak Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Do E-bows work more or less equally well with all guitars? I am considering getting one to experiment with, but my guitar is a hollowbody (Epiphone Casino) and I've heard some say e-bows don't really work with this type of guitar. I really don't want to lay out the cash for one if it is just going to sound s#$%&y with my guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 hmm, i can't imagine it making much of a difference,Ā thing is, with it being a more acoustic sound coming from the casino, it'll sound more folky.Ā I don't like using slides unless i'm playing Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I could not really see how it would make a difference either (except as you say due to the natural tone of the guitar), but I've heard a few people say things...Ā Since I know next to nothing about E-bows, just thought I'd see if anyone has more experience than me;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granvals Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It won't make any significant difference. The EBow simply creates a force field around the magnet, so any magnetic pickup will work just fine. As for hollowbodies + EBow, the only person I can think of is Ed O'Brien (Radiohead) who plays an ES-335 sometimes (extensively on In Rainbows,) and it sounds just fine. It's a great investment; and I have yet to run out of sounds to create. Definitely worth the $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowtalk Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I used it on an Casino (Gibson Casino?) remake and i didn't really find much difference. But if you're thinking of getting an ebow, i really recommend it, you can do some lovely things with it, take a bit of practice though, not always the most fun thing to do, especially when you just wanna play all the parts where jonny uses it.

robins32 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i have a semi hollow body and it sounds fine. ebows are great to have in the collection anyway. you always change pickups which i'm not sure will make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
