Anyone use a cello/viola/violin bow (or similar) on guitar?

there is a moment in our set where I could do this, whilst I am sure things like an ebow make more sense musically I quite 
Iike the idea of whacking the strings plus a shed load of delay going on. 
Quick google seems to suggest the technique isn't that straightforward, the rosin is necessary but can wreck your strings and the guitar strings wreck the bow. Yet people still do it.
Anyone?

Go for it dude - Have you thought about getting a Theremin?

It's the only way. (at around 0-45)

Try the brilliant EHX Mel9 to get this effect

Hmmm, cheers all. My one attempt with a theremin consisted mostly of silence so probably won't be that.
