As long as the acoustic guitar's strings include magnetic metals, like steel strings, the EBow can be used with them. Since bronze and nylon strings are not electromagnetic, the EBow will not function with acoustic guitars that employ them. Bronze strings are commonly used on acoustic guitars. Steel is frequently used for the "B" and "High-E" strings, whereas copper is frequently used for the looping strings. The EBow will only play the two high strings on your acoustic unless all steel strings are correctly inserted. Since the EBow works with magnetic fields instead of pickups, it can be used with any guitar; however, the tone will be significantly softer. Magnetic pickups are sometimes found in the two-way interaction of acoustic instruments. Then, your EBow should function just like it on an acoustic guitar. A soundhole sensor can be installed as an ebow alternative. However, there are a few drawbacks to using EBow with an acoustic guitar: - Slower string activation -Increased string decay -Quieter sound When the EBow is taken out, the heavier strings on the acoustically vibrate faster and more slowly, depending on how rich they are. Considering that it is not amplified, the sound will be quieter. When using the EBow on an acoustic guitar without needing a transducer, you will also be denied access to the HotSpot functionality, which prevents you from using spiccato or bending strokes. EBow may generate a warm, clear, and natural string tone on acoustic guitars.
