NEW GEAR

While many players might not be familiar with the E-Bow, they certainly have heard it many times on record—and in the hands of some major guitarists. (Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers is one.) The E-Bow is an electromagnetic string driver for the guitar, operating directly on the guitar string and not on the signal of the pickups. This not only makes it unique among most effects, it allows the player to achieve infinite sustain as well as total dynamic control of fade-ins and fade-outs.
