Does anyone own an ebow? Do they really allow for "infinite" sustain? Is it worth the 79 dollars?

Ebows are small electronic devices that emit a magnetic field. When held in hand, in place of a pick, the magnetic field causes the string(s) to vibrate. This does allow for infinite sustain, and creates a sound much like a violin, or almost like a theremin box.

It's a cool effect, but I personally haven't found much use for one other than to add a bit of ambience or atmosphere to a track.

awful.

Have fun using them on a guitar with EMGs.

If they were 20 bucks, I'd say go for it.

I enjoy not having EMGs everyday.

I prefer dimarzios myself, but have EMGs on most of my current guitars. Ether way, EMGs will not work with the Ebow. The Ebow pretty much is gay anywho.

I was loyal to dimarzio until I got a guitar with duncans in them...now I guess I'll be loyal to duncans

The dimarzio X2Ns are probably the best pickups I've ever played... plus they come in flourecent green and pink.

My old warlock Had a jazz and dimebucker in it, The distortion was great but they were a little to noisy. I like the silent over tone of the EMGs.

I'll need to hear them...I love my JB/59 combo, so it'll have to wow me.

AWFUL. Piece of plastic shit that is a pain in the ass to use and worthless when it comes to playing live. $79??? Ya, I bought one and I'll sell it to you for $2.49 + tax.
