7. EBow Here’s a fun fact: the EBow was originally introduced at the Chicago NAMM show in 1976. Shocking, isn’t it? But even after almost four decades, the EBow is still one of the most desirable guitar accessories you can buy. The EBow focuses a sympathetic oscillating magnetic field on a single string, causing it to vibrate in a manner similar to that of a bowed violin—thus the name. And even though it is limited to one string, the EBow offers a variety of tones and textures via two modes (normal and harmonic) and by using different techniques. You can buy an EBow at many retailers, but if you want more info, go to ebow.com. 8.
