High quality construction

The carbon fiber build feels very durable yet lightweight. I've used it on both my Stratocaster and my dreadnought acoustic without any issues. The horsehair holds the rosin well, providing consistent friction. Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their sonic toolkit.

Fun addition to my studio gear

As a session musician, I'm always looking for unique textures. This bow delivers exactly that. It's easy to switch between picking and bowing mid-song. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the tension adjustment could be slightly more intuitive for beginners.

Good, but requires specific strings

The bow itself is nice, but I found it didn't work well with my coated strings. After switching to standard bronze wound strings on my acoustic, the performance improved drastically. Just be aware that your string choice matters significantly when bowing a guitar.

Perfect for live performance

I use this during live sets to create drone layers underneath my chord progressions. It's sturdy enough to handle the rigors of touring, and the case protects it well in my gig bag. The creative possibilities are endless, especially with some delay pedals.

Great for experimental music

This bow works wonderfully on my acoustic guitar for folk experimentation. It took a little practice to get the pressure right so I wouldn't scratch the strings, but once I got the hang of it, the results were beautiful. Deducting one star because the included rosin cake was a bit small.

Unlocks a whole new sound palette

I was skeptical about using a bow on my electric guitar, but the SOLO Picasso Bow changed my mind completely. It produces smooth, sustained notes that add an ethereal quality to my ambient tracks. The balance is perfect, and it doesn't feel awkward to hold while standing.

5 FAQ

Q: Can this bow be used on nylon string classical guitars?

A: While it is physically possible to use the bow on nylon strings, the results are often quiet and less sustained compared to steel or bronze wound strings. We recommend using it primarily on acoustic-electric or electric guitars with metal strings for the best performance.

Q: Will bowing damage my guitar's finish?

A: If used correctly with proper rosin application, the bow should not damage your guitar's finish. However, we always recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first and ensuring the bow hair is clean to avoid any accidental scratching from debris.

Q: How do I tighten or loosen the bow hair?

A: The bow features a standard screw mechanism at the end of the frog (the handle part). Turn the screw clockwise to tighten the hair for playing, and counter-clockwise to loosen it for storage. Always loosen the hair when not in use to maintain the bow's camber.

Q: What is the return policy if I don't like the sound?

A: We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the tonal qualities or playability of the bow, you can return it in its original condition for a full refund.

Q: Does the package include rosin?

A: Yes, every SOLO Picasso Bow comes with a cake of rosin specifically formulated for guitar strings, along with a protective hard case and a microfiber cleaning cloth.
