ebow schematic

[badger]

Does anyone have or know of a link to a schematic for an ebow or electro magnetic sustainer circuit for guitar mod?

Remember coming accross some of those in patents a couple of years back. Do a search for that on servers that have patents on them like:

www.uspto.gov
www.delphion.com

Unfortunately the link to the patent does not work, so I dunno where it is the schematic is available...

If you dig a little deeper you will see no schematics are actually available on the net, but a general idea toits functioning is around, the tough part is the construction and the venture into magnetics/chemicals/non-'electronic' areas...

for what it is worth

i know i'm digging up a really old thread here, but i just was looking for the same thing. only difference is, i found it

the patent number is 4075921.

it can be found on many sites, but the one i got it from was http://www.freepatentsonline.com/

i signed up (its free) and was able to download a pdf version of the patent, which includes all necessary schematics etc.

hope this helps someone else.

your aincient reply came up on google, thanks saved me taking my ebow apart!
i thought it worked something like that, can you really patent an pickup, an amplifier and a coil? or only the way it is put together?
