    Back in the 1970’s I built an ebow toy. I took a solenoid (like what a washing machine uses to open water valves), and glued a big fat magnet to the back. I held it near the strings of an old acoustic guitar and connected it to the input of a tube amp. Took another solenoid (sans magnet) and held it near the strings, a few inches away from the first. The second solenoid was connected to the amp’s output. Cranked up the volume and got LOUD noises. With practice, I got it to play some nice-sounding chords, and actually got a distorted feedback tone out of it that was pretty aggressive. The only "speaker" was the guitar itself.
