Detail 01
Electromagnetic drive
It vibrates the string directly instead of amplifying it, so the note holds as long as you hold the unit there.

EbowEBow Plus Electronic Bow for Guitar
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Handheld electronic bow that drives a single guitar string magnetically for endless sustain. For players who want violin-like swells and drones.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Ambient, post-rock, and film-score textures over sustained notes
- Adding a bowed or synth-like voice without changing guitars
- Long swells and drones that outlast a picked note
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Chord playing — it drives one string at a time
- Fast lead lines or anything needing hard pick attack
- Players wanting a pedal they can leave on the floor
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Handheld, not a pedal
It occupies your picking hand. Switching between bowed and picked passages means physically putting it down.
Detail 03
One string at a time
Melodies and single-note drones only. You cannot bow a chord, and string changes need a deliberate move.
Detail 04
Battery powered
No cables, no pedalboard space, no power supply. Runtime is finite, so carry a spare for long sessions.
Detail 05
Rests on the pickups
It rides above the strings between the pickups, so string height and pickup height affect how easily it engages.
Detail 06
Steel-string electric design
It needs magnetically responsive strings. Nylon strings will not respond at all.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Battery not included in every purchase — check before your first session
- 02Expect practice time; positioning and pressure take a while to get consistent
- 03Works on steel strings only, so nylon-string guitars are out
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it work on acoustic guitar?
Yes, as long as the strings are steel. It drives the string itself, so you will hear it acoustically, just quieter than through an amp.
02Can I play chords with it?
No. It drives one string at a time. For sustained chords you need a different approach, such as a sustain pedal or looper.
03Does it need to plug into my amp?
No. It is self-contained and battery powered. Your guitar's own pickups carry the sound to the amp as normal.
04Will it work on bass?
It is designed for guitar. Bass string mass and spacing are different, so results are unpredictable and generally not what you want.
