Well, I've found that some acoustic guitars just won't resonate so much,
though my experience is limited. I remember a Farrington that a friend
had
once on a gig, he borrowed my e-Bow and couldn't make it do nuthin
audibly.
For some reason the Oscar Schmidt acoustic I've got sings like a mo-fo
with
e-Bow... so I am inclined to think, YES there is a physical relationship
between e-Bow use and the ability of a guitar to resonate. Damn, wish I
had
the money to experiment with THAT: One acoustic-electric, e-Bow and a
Fathead. Hmm..

Those on the list about to pursue this inspired line of experimentation
are
therefore required to report to us all! :)
(off for now, I've got the final parts for my new PCs! Let the building
commence! Details later.)
