I agree with HTF here, never give up.I used to "dabble" with the bow yrs ago and it's a fun little thing to try if you're going to play sonme Zep tunes(by the way Page used a telecaster in the early days before he went to the les paul)If you're going to do it try working on the thick strings first and make sure you use plenty of rosin on the bow,tyr it clean 1st then add a little distortion and then maybe some echo.Also watch the song remains the same movie by zep where Page is using the bow during Dazed and Confused.have fun with it.
