ebow deluxe?

[mikegee]

i own an ebow, and i love it... but man, i wish icould ebow all 6 strings simultaneously...

anybody know of anything that will do that? or maybe a pedal that would simulate that? sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, just wondering...

people have been talking about a 6 string ebow for ages, i don't know why they don't do it.

the closest thing would be a Fernandes Sustainer system. This is something that's installed in your guitar which you can turn on and off with the flick of a switch to give you instant sustain, ala the ebow.

the edge uses one, billy corgan had a few in the studio, and i saw someone else with them once. they're really cool, actually.

the only problem is, you'd need to reroute your guitar for these things. best thing to do is just buy a fernandes guitar that's got this feature in it.

were you looking to play all 6 strings at a time like a violin or cello bower might do? or just have them all sustain at the same time?

like; sustain all 6 strings at the same time (or 5 or 4, depending on the chord i'm playing) i think it would be a really cool sound

most of the fernandes guitars i've seen are ugly, but would it cost less for a re-route than one of the cheaper fernandes guitars?
