Does anyone know where I can buy a smooth steel rod bow - similar to a screw driver to use as a bow for an electric guitar.

Trying to get the glissando guitar sound like the Steve Hillage sound on the Rainbow Dome album. (The guitar sounds more like a synth when played like this with delay, phaser/flanger & reverb)

This glissando effect I'm trying to achieve is a totally different sound to what you get using an e-bow or slide. (It might be possible to achieve similar results using both an e-bow and slide but this is not the method used by Steve Hillage or Daevid Allen.

The sound I want is achieved by gently bowing the strings at the point of where you fret making a constant drone which you use the bow as a slide. Have had limited success using a screwdriver - however ideally need something flat not round and smoother. Seeing the recent Steve Hillage DVD they all appear to be using proper bow rods not screwdrivers from a tool box!

Considering how fantastic this sound is I am suprised I cannot find anything out-there to buy? Am I searching for the wrong item ?

Any advice appreciated!
Thanks
