the reason more people don't use an actual bow on their guitars is because you pretty much need to dedicate one specifically to a bow. or you can just buy yourself an ebow and save yourself the mess (but that only works for single notes)

rosin on guitar strings is really messy

and if you want to be able to sound more than just alternate between sounding all the strings or just the high and low Es the bridge needs to be rounded a bit to give access on the bow.

it really is a unique sound, especially when making a full chord ring but it's a messy hassle.
