Get one. I haven't written any songs with one but its great for getting harmonic feedback when recording through modeling or iso cabs or any situation where it's hard to get that perfect singing feedback.

I have one as well.  It's been a while since I've played with it, but it's great for adding texture.  Plays really well with a fuzz+delay+reverb combo.  Phase too.  Actually, now that I think about it, it's really fun.  If you decide to purchase one, I would suggest the Ebow+.

been using them for years, really fun and easy enough to get the hang of.
keep in mind, you can't play chords with it, (you can arpeggiate a chord's notes however), and you need humbuckers for it to work... but it is super useful... atleast for me.
have fun-

I've seen Wino use one with a Strat though. Sounded pretty good. I think it was with Shrinebuilder?

it will "work" with single coils, but always harsh/nearly uncontrollable. if that's your thing... cool!
when i spent some time with it and learned the nuances/limitations of it and really found the most practical applications for it...
PURE GOLD.
IMO.

I USE IT EXTENSIVELY HERE STARTINT AT ABOUT 4:00-

I used to use it more a couple of years ago. But for me it's quite tricky especially live. But I*ll might give it a try again.  The sound is quite awesome...

The elbow is key—it's damned hard to play guitar without two of 'em.

That's the Spanish Archer known as "El Bow".

Sounds like you can make some amazing sounds with them, I want one!

apparently some people can make amazing sounds with them. I'm not really one of those people yet, but admittedly I have put in about less than a minute trying to master the device.
Id try and find a used one...as Im sure people buy these, cant figur out how ot use it, then sell it.

heres some sample sounds from the company:
