Is Your Guitar Bow a Fake? How to Spot Counterfeits and Buy the Original Pickaso Guitar Bow®
Is Your Guitar Bow a Fake?
How to Spot Counterfeits and Buy the Original Pickaso
When the Pickaso Guitar Bow® launched in 2019, it introduced something truly revolutionary: the first bow ever designed specifically for acoustic guitar, featuring a unique dual-hair structure. The sound possibilities were inspiring — and the feedback overwhelmingly positive.
But over time, we began noticing troubling comments:
“Piece of junk.” “Doesn’t work.” “Broke immediately.” “Poor sound.”
So what’s going on?
Long story short: counterfeit bows.
Where Are These Fakes Coming From?
At Pickaso, we sell our bows exclusively through our official website and a small group of authorized dealers listed there.
We do not sell on Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, eBay, Etsy, or any similar marketplace.
Unfortunately, these platforms are saturated with shady dropshippers and unauthorized sellers offering counterfeit guitar bows — often copying our design and misusing our registered trademark to trick customers. The quality is shockingly poor. At best, they sound bad. At worst, they arrive broken or fall apart quickly.
This is the real reason behind the negative reviews.

How to Spot a Fake Pickaso Bow
Here are 3 simple ways to tell the difference:
1. Check where it’s sold
If you bought it from Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, eBay, or Etsy — it’s not real.
The original Pickaso Guitar Bow® is only sold on pickasobow.com and through listed authorized dealers.
2. Look for the logo
Every authentic bow features our 'pick' logo on the handle — a stylized “p” taken from the Pickaso company logo.
3. Notice the sound and materials
Fake bows produce harsh, scratchy sounds, use dusty, low-quality rosin, and are made with cheap, poorly assembled parts — often by manufacturers with zero musical knowledge.
What Makes Pickaso Different?
Since day one, this has been our passion.
We make guitar bows. We sell guitar bows. We ship guitar bows — and we love what we do.
At Pickaso Innovations, we obsess over every detail — from premium materials and sound performance to thoughtful packaging, reliable rosin, and a detailed user guide.
We don’t just manufacture products — we innovate, refine, and improve them continuously, with musicians in mind.
Counterfeit sellers?
They don’t play music — and it shows.
We're Taking Action
We’re working hard — both publicly and legally — to stop these scams and protect our customers.
This post is just one part of that effort. You’ll find more information and warnings on our website.
