Pickaso Guitar Bow - Classical Model

Gifting the Pickaso Guitar Bow to your loved ones is a fantastic idea! It’s a gift that’s sure to surprise and delight, offering hours of fun and sparking creativity for the guitarist in your life. We’ve created this holiday gift guide to make your shopping easier.
Here’s everything you need to know:

Step 1: Select a Model

We offer two models: the Classical and the Studio. Both are excellent choices and can be purchased together or separately. Here’s how they differ:

• The Classical (launched in 2019):
  Our original model, refined with a few upgrades over the years. It’s shorter, produces a bright and sweet sound, and is compact and easy to handle.
• The Studio (launched in 2022):
  Designed to complement the Classical model. Its longer structure allows for more sustained notes and emphasizes deeper, lower tones.

Both models include:

• A soft protective case
• Vacuum-sealed rosin
• A microfiber cloth
• A personal letter from the inventor
• Stickers

Step 2: Check the Guitar Strings

Most guitar strings on the market are uncoated (e.g., 80/20 bronze, phosphor bronze). However, some are coated, like Elixir strings, which have a thin, transparent coating. The Pickaso Guitar Bow does not perform well with coated strings, resulting in a faint sound.

If you’re unsure which type of strings your guitarist uses, consider adding a set of uncoated strings to your gift basket. (Click here)

Step 3: Add Complementary Items

• Hard-Shell Case:
  Upgrade to a hard-shell case for added protection. It’s perfect for storing the bow, its accessories, and other guitar items like picks.
• Extra Rosin:
  While rosin is included in the kit, having an extra spare can be handy.
• Gift Note:
  Add a personal touch with a gift note. Simply add an item to your cart, then enter your message in the “Cart Notes” textbox. (Click here) (Note: Please avoid including special instructions, as they will appear on the printed note.) Rest assured, item prices will not be included in the shipment.

Q1: Does the bow work on any type of string?
A: The Pickaso bow is compatible with most types and brands of uncoated strings, but it cannot be used with coated strings, such as Elixir, or nylon strings. We prefer to use Ernie Ball 80/20 Medium-Light strings. For the best results, we recommend choosing strings in the light to medium gauge range.

Q2: Can the bow be used with other instruments?
A: The Pickaso Guitar Bow is designed for acoustic guitars but can also be used with steel-stringed instruments with a sound hole or space for bow insertion, excluding nylon or coated strings.

Q3: Does it work on classical or electric guitars?
A: Yes, it works on classical guitars with steel-covered strings, but not on nylon. On electric guitars, it can be used like a violin bow in a "Jimmy Page style."

Q4: Will the bow damage my strings?
A: When used properly and following provided instructions, the bow won't damage your strings. Its softer bow hair is gentler than a guitar pick.

Q5: Does the bow contain horsehair?
A: No, the Pickaso bow uses synthetic hair designed specifically for stringed instruments, offering durability and excellent sound quality while avoiding animal products.

Q6: Can I add a gift note?
A: Absolutely! 🎁 You can add a gift note at no extra cost. Simply add your items to the cart, then before proceeding to checkout, locate the text box labeled "Gift Note" in your cart and enter your message. [Click here to view your cart]

• Important Notice:
  The Pickaso bow is not compatible with coated strings like Elixir Nanoweb or nylon strings. Please ensure that your strings are uncoated. Uncoated strings are available for purchase in our store. If you're uncertain about your strings, you can contact us or check https://www.sweetwater.com. Enter your string model and review the product specifications to determine if they are coated.
• On the classical guitar, only the wound strings will produce sound. 🎶
• Warning: The Pickaso bow is highly addictive and fun! 🎨

This model is completely free of animal products! 🌸 The bow and product kit are fully vegan. The bow hair is crafted from synthetic fibers, and the rosin is mixed with natural plant-based waxes.

Every day, we receive emails from disappointed customers who have unfortunately bought counterfeit guitar bows on platforms such as Amazon and eBay, or via random websites from unknown sellers or dropshippers. The range of complaints is broad, from orders that never arrive to receiving items that are broken or of very low quality, with unsatisfactory sound. It’s crucial to ensure that the Pickaso Guitar Bow you believe you’re purchasing is genuinely authentic and not a cheap imitation made with inferior materials, accompanied by low-grade rosin that could harm your guitar.

Ensuring Authenticity:

• Always verify the presence of the distinctive Pickaso “P” logo on the guitar bow handle.
• Ensure your purchases are made exclusively through our official website at www.pickasobow.com or from our authorized dealers. Click here to find authorized dealers.

Stay safe and support genuine creativity and innovation. 🎨
