First of all, what are they and exactly how do they work? I've heard of them before and that you can hold a note for like, foreeeeeever on them. Some cool effects could be created with that I imagine. Second, are they an add on to a guitar like a snyth pickup or will I have to replace one of my other pick ups with it? How much can I expect to pay for one? Finally, if anyone has had anyone personal experience with them, what are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Kyle

The only one that I know of is from Fernandes and it is a factory fit - it requires place under the pickguard for the string exciter. Without going to find the Fernandes site, I can't tell you exactly how it works, but as I remember, it's something like having an ebow built into your guitar.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?
