Yep. Might have fit the bill if we were talking 30s.
Yep. Too bad that tape echo units weren't available until the mids 50s, and wah wah pedals and Marshall stacks weren't available until the mid 60s.
Give it up for Jimmy man.

Yep. Back before then, if an artist wanted to boast innovation derived from technology, they had to make that technology themselves instead of waiting for it to hit the market. Spoiled kids like Jimmy Page don't know how good they have it.

I'm sorry is there a reason I should ****ing care about a gimmick like using a violin bow on a guitar? Just sounds like something to impress people who think a violin means classical which means intellectual.

I agree. You're not a great guitarist until you can play with your teeth and risk electrocution like Jimi Hendrix.

It's not a gimmick if you make unique and COOL sounds with it.
Hell, just ask Frowny. What he does with a knitting needle on a guitar is beyond reproach.

Well I'm certain you can listen to it as much of it as you want, and still not have to worry of anyone accusing you of being an intellectual.
Beside it sounds cool. I think the first to use a bow on a guitar was Eddie Phillips of The Creation.
The Creation - Making Time

Page got turned onto trying a bow during his session days even earlier.
Bit of obscure trivia - the "guy" that turned Page onto the bow was the father of David McCallum, who co-starred along with Robert Vaughn in the mid 60s TV show The Man from UNCLE.
Catch up Neo.
